I was not aware of that also. But since I have Crohn's too, I always let my body tell me how much suppliment I need. Meaning: If t gives me loose stools, that is probably too much, or right on the edge.

So you are someone else with possible spondyloarthrits since you have Crohn's.

Everything seems to point to the gut. My reactive arthritis was likely triggered by an enteric infection. My doctor seemed certain about reactive arthritis when my HLA-B27 can back positive.

Having been previously diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis created some confusion when PMR was diagnosed. My rheumatologist said it was unfortunate that I had both PMR and inflammatory arthritis.

I asked my rheumatologist if there was any rule that prohibited more than one autoimmune disease. The answer was that there wasn't any rule. Then she said that in some people having one autoimmune disorder created a tendency to have another autoimmune disorder.

Now my rheumatologist says I have a "full range" of rheumatology problems.
