Some people are using a CR (calorie restriction) diet to reduce inflammation. You might try searching on CRON (calorie restriction with optimal nutrition). It does it via reducing insulin and glucose.

I'm trying something similar but I think a little easier called Intermittent Fasting. Basically it is skipping 2 meals every other day. Here's an article that first piqued my interest. http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/a...ay_to_bet.html

I have an autoimmune arthritis so this is a topic that is very interesting to me. I've been doing the IF for about a week now, it'll probably take at least one more week to see if it works, maybe 2 more.

Also, members at the kickas.org forum use a low starch diet. Others use a low carb diet to control inflammation, paleo style of diet being one that should avoid foods that cause inflammation (grains, legumes, some exclude nightshades like eggplant, tomatoes, potatos).

I'm looking forward to getting my next set of blood tests.
