I haven't managed to kick the dairy habit yet, although I can see it coming in a year or two.
But Low Carb is an utter necessity, if I want to feel well.
And Gluten Free is an utter necessity if I want to avoid constant pain from inflamed joints, with flakey bits of skin falling off all the time (psoriasis for several weeks after every glutening).
As for C-Reactive Protein results, they have been high for years - while going low carb and going GF, then carnivore, none of which reduced the C-RP by significant amounts.
Due for another test in the next few months, and it will be interesting to see if my current anti arthritis campaign (turmeric, glucosamine, chondroitin, bone broth, additional collagen and trying v hard not to annoy my joints doing things that make them hurt) will show a drop in C-RP. At the moment all I can say is that the pain is much reduced, and the joints are a lot less crunchy and poppy and grindy, which is a fab result so far.
Oh, and different joints seem to react to different foods. Anyone else get a clear reaction in their thumbs from tomatoes? Bizarre, but very obvious. lol. Ah well, at least they don't prick (yet), as in
by the pricking of my thumbs...
