Hi to all of you who have helped me so much!
Haven't posted in a long time but wanted you all to know of this book. The name is "The Inflammation Free Diet Plan" by Reinagel available at Amazon.com. I am a nurse practitioner and three or four years ago discovered this site when I was incapacitated with AS manifesting with uveitis and joint pain. The no starch diet literally saved my life. I shared it with all patients in my practice who are afflicted with arthropathies, fibromyalgia, obesity, etc., etc., etc.
Recently a family member of one of my patients was researching inflammation on line and came across this book. To make a long story short it is truly miraculous. I have been on the new diet for the past month and am eating food that I never thought I would be able to eat again. The book rates different foods as either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory depending on a number of factors including the glycemic index and antioxidant levels. Eating inflammatory and anti-inflammatory foods in the recommended combination really broadens my food choices and I feel better than ever. In addition I have recently added a new supplement called OPCXtra that I order on-line. This contains grape seed extract, pine bark extract and other antioxidants. The supplement is helpful, I'm sure, but the information in the book is phenomenal and there are some wonderful recipes to be found in it,too!
