The King’s College Hospital in London have been researching ankylosing spondylitis and have found a link between ankylosing spondylitis and bowel dysbiosis. They also found that most of the patients that were put on a low-starch diet had the progression of their symptoms come to a stop.
Candida albicans that is a naturally occurring fungus in the body can also be involved in damaging the gastrointestinal tract if the Candida is in a state of overgrowth. The Klebsiella bacteria, which is the bacteria found in bowel dysbiosis is allowed into the bloodstream by the presence of the Candida overgrowth.
