Food to avoid: GARLIC
I've been eating two cloves of garlic every day in salads and cooking since shortly before PMR struck in March 2023. This week I found on several reliable websites and in research papers that garlic shouldn't be eaten with any autoimmune condition as it heightens the immune response, something we want to avoid with active PMR. Garlic was praised up everywhere for general good health and gut health so I committed to eating it every day, but hadn't thought to check the effect on PMR. No more garlic for me.

Hence the many adages about "gut" instincts.
I personally have never heard about a connection between garlic and PMR, but that said, I don't believe that eating any food in excess is good for us.
