Hi, Dena: Yes, I'd have to say that giving up nightshade veggies -
tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, et al, would be at the top of my
list. I'd also advise fish body oil for the Omega 3's, which have a
wonderful effect on cartilage inflammation. Chondroitin sulfate,
glucosamine, and MSM have a good anecdotal history, and you can't OD on
them. My personal regime also includes Alpha Lipoic Acid, CoQ10, and lots
of Vit C and bioflavonoids.
Do you have a history of intestinal yeasts? These can hide out in joints, too.
