hi Carol, nice to hear from you
I knew you didn't really "leave" us ..
Grains and COW-milk dairy products are NOTORIOUS for stimulating inflammatory conditions in the joints. Too bad your doctor wasn't more informed about elimination diets -- one doesn't usually add suspected offending foods all at once!! Anyway, you should be feeling better soon with lowcarbing. Sorry you had to go through this though.
Another suggestion from the Arthritis Foundation, is to avoid foods from the Nightshade family of vegetables. These plants contain solanine, which MAY also contribute to joint inflammation. The vegetables include potatoes (but yer not eating those anyway, right ??), tomatoes, bell peppers and eggplant.
Hope you're feeling better soon, and look forward to reading more posts from you soon!
Doreen
