Q: Inflammatory Food

Aloha,
i just joined your group--looks like there's some good information here. I was diagnosed with ra one week ago. What a shock. I'm dealing with it with optimism, though. Wink
right now, the challenge is figuring out the best diet I can follow. While I realize (by now) that each person will have different food allergies, I understand there are some foods that most rheumatoid arthritis people should stay away from. Some websites consistently mention eggs and one article I read (i can't find it now Evil or Very Mad ) said it was because of the lethicin in the eggs.

My question is the following: is lethicin, in general, bad for us to consume?

It seems like several, seemingly great, supplement drinks geared toward people dealing with ra contain soy lethicin. With soy being listed sometimes as an inflammatory food too, this ingredient confuses me.

Is soy lethicin generally ok for people (dealing with and conquering:) rheumatoid arthritis to consume?

Thank you (in advance),
marlakate

I have fibro and arthritis, possibly the rheumatoid type. (doctors keep going back on forth whether it is osteo, rheum or psoriatic)


nightshade plants can be a problem for some with arthritis, tomatoes and potatoes that is....Not sure what else will be. I will do some looking.

I cannot do soy of any kind, I have become highly allergic to it....

Some people really shout praises for soy.....Others think it is poison. It sure has become that for me!!

Arthritis diet: foods to avoid...

The most common food culprits are:

sugar
caffeine
citrus

salt

red meat

dairy products

additives

soft drinks

flour
nightshades (examples below)
eggplants
red peppers
tomatoes
white potatoes
tobacco
if you do eat any of these foods, pay attention to any reaction you might have in the next 24 hours. If you notice a reaction, you are indeed allergic to that food item



i found this listing on a google search.
