Another diet to experiment with is the No Starch Diet. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence suggesting that starches somehow trigger an autoimmune reaction in some people leading to Ankylosing Spondylitis and possibly others like Irritable Bowel Disease.

It's not an easy diet to follow, but the food test is simple - red iodine turns blackish blue in contact with starch.
