    I know right? I have to avoid many of the most common food crops specifically because of inflammation. Wheat, soy, and nuts.

    I agree with the other sentiment here though, it’s the processing and additives.

      How do you measure your inflammation? periodic blood draw lab tests? What diet did you end up with for the lowest inflammation?

        For myself I can just feel it. Arthritic pain etc. When I eat a lot of anything containing wheat. Pizza for one. My left ankle will swell up painfully for a week sometimes. I still have pizza from time to time. But I know I will suffer for it.

        I did however go to a rheumatologist a couple years ago and get a blood test to discover what was causing me issues yes. Since then I’ve generally gone on a more keto diet. With lots of fruits and vegetables which I don’t react to. But mainly cutting out as much of the processed foods and trouble foods as I can.
