Just wondering if anyone follows the anti-inflammatory diet and has success in controlling their blood sugar as well as reducing inflammation (c-reactive protein tests show that I think).
I've been eating low carb for year or more now but can't tame this dermatitis on my hands without steroid creams. I'm curious about the anti-inflammatory diet after a friend has been on it a few months for arthritis in her back due to an old injury for which she has had a couple of operations. She has lost weight and says her back pain has almost resolved. She has never had diabetes though so not sure how the diet suits those with blood sugar issues but I've read it can help. Just wondering if skipping red meat is really necessary. Are grain-fed animals the problem or is it red meat in general. If so, why is it inflammatory?
Has anyone tried both low carb and anti-inflammatory diets?
