Hello @nanniepie, One of the better health and diet books I found when I started research better eating for my PMR and Neuropathy conditions was The Wahls Protocol by Dr. Terry Wahls. She has a great story that you can read about on her website - https://terrywahls.com/about/#DrTerryWahls.

I have PMR & on 7-5 mg of Prednisone, Methotrexate daily, but am still having discomfort. I have been wanting to try the Paleo Diet, with the hope it wold reduce my inflammation.
I also have Colitis & IBD and can't eat many of the vegetable suggested on the diet.
Any suggestions, would be helpful!

John, I listened to Dr. Wahl's story and was impressed. I do think that there is a lot to be said for the Paleo diet, although I consider myself more of a Pegan (Paleo Vegan), with a little oats and a sweet after dinner. I avoid most processed foods and grains (especially bread) and usually buy organic. I do think it helped in my speedy recovery from PMR. As you may recall, I am a registered dietitian and had a very mild case to begin with and was able to taper off a low dose of Prednisone after about a year or so. I had been eating like this for about 15 years and only succumbed to PMR after my second COVID vaccination. It also helps to maintain my ideal body weight easily without hunger--I do think that fiber is key to this, as well as focusing on anti-inflammatory foods.
