I don’t eat a lot of sugar generally but I adore jelly beans. I ate almost a whole bag (I’m not proud, but it happened) in a day earlier in the month. The arthritis in my knees and hands was terrible the next day!

I haven’t noticed any other food related issues, but like I said, I don’t eat a lot of sugar.

It was likely due to the erratic weather this month. Low barometric pressure is well known to exacerbate joint pain.

Also sugar is hidden in many things
To cut sugar, avoid white bread, white pasta, carrots, corn, etc.
whole grains, fish, etc go Mediterranean diet

Ibuprofin contributes to things like ulcers. Not a good idea.

Yes, you couldn’t possibly know more about your body than this random person online.

Docs miss so much. A food journal/elimination diet is often a key piece in sorting out autoimmune issues. Keep tracking your food. It’s excellent for checking in.

And disordered anti inflammatory diets are an eating disorder

[Anonymous]

Any kind of eating structure is considered disordered on this board, which is very dumb.

How refreshing that even Harvard has come onboard with the real science. At some point, we’ll all see how deeply we’ve been indoctrinated by the pharmaceutical industry. Pharma advertising is relentless. They spend more than any other industry that I’m aware of.

I assume you mean "alkaline" food. However, lemon water is acidic - the very opposite of alkaline. A basic chemistry class could help you out.

Funny how sure you sound when you are incorrect about how the human body handles lemon juice.

Steel cut oatmeal for breakfast with half a banana, blueberries and walnuts
No charcuterie in any shape or form
No soy -especially soy sauce
Fresh veggies - try to have cruciferous veggies everyday
Real bread - sour dough over yeast
I get the Irish butter
Fresh or homemade pasta in moderation
Oily fish several times a week- I aim for the smaller fish that don’t have the mercury problem
Farmers market meat and poultry
Fresh fruit
No added sweeteners unless for reducing acid (ala tomato sauce) or a splurge dessert (no more than once a week)
I cook mainly with olive oil (I will add a little butter to increase the smoking point)
Some kind of unsweetened yogurt

I do vitamin D from September-March/April
Vitamin B12 due to a deficiency

How do you know this “cleared inflammation from your body”? What metric/test are you using to quantify your “bodily inflammation”?

my joint pain goes away when I follow a similar diet

Just because you read something weird on the internet does not make it true. There is no such thing as "alkalizing the body". That's not a thing, and drinking acid certainly won't make it happen.

Medically reviewed article. Definitely “weird.”

For those who do not think inflammation is an issue, what about the “itis” at the end of so many disease names?

Appendicitis
Tonsillitis
Bronchitis

“-itis” refers to inflammation.

+1. Though I do wish people would understand the wisdom in the middle ground between “I ate a *whole bag* of jelly beans and it had a negative impact on my body” and “never take ibuprofen or heed medical advice; all you need is this Tahitian noni juice and a food diary.”

Except this is wrong. They always lump red and processed meat together. Red meat does not cause inflammation. In fact, it’s the least inflammatory thing you can eat. Go ahead and eat only red meat for a month and watch your hscrp always drop.
