Johns said, "...but even if diet is working fine one day, if something happens to open up new lesions in the intestinal tract, more AS activity will happen the next day because there is more bacteria made available to the lymph nodes."

What does he mean by lesions in the intestinal tract? Does everyone with AS have lesions in the intestinal tract or only those with IBD?

Confused about the lesions.

Thanks!
