As soon as I got PMR i put myself on a 0-carb diet, eating meat and eggs only. It's been 3 months since I started this. The pain is less.... and it will take a few months to get rid of it, I know I will because others are doing it!. But 45 days into eating 0 carb I decided to cheat with 3 slices of sourdough bread and one huge chocolate chip cookie. Let me tell you!! the next day it was a very scary day because the amount of pain went to the roof!!! It took me 3 min to go from my bed to the bathroom!!... I could move my feet like an inch at a time. I learned my lesson! Not eating carbs again until this is gone and even then, the carbs will come from a simple salad, once in while. I will stick to this diet for the rest of my life! it has not taken the PMR away, but it has cured my gut and I lost 20 pounds, all I needed to lose. No more fatty liver, no more bloating no more pain in my gut!

Hi @adrigibby, Welcome to Connect. It's great news to hear that the zero carb eating has helped with your PMR. My PMR is currently in remission for the second time and I'm hoping it stays that way. I can't handle doing a zero carb but have switched to a low carb and healthy fat eating plan along with intermittent fasting to lose weight and improve my health. There is another discussion you might find interesting if not helpful.

--- Low-carb healthy fat living. Intermittent fasting. What’s your why?:

Are you on any treatment like prednisone for your PMR or just doing the zero carb eating?
