Forgot to mention blue agave. It has 16gm of carbs plus 16gm of sugar per serving. Not a good choice. The tequila due to distillation has zero carbs or sugar. Drink away.

"The tequila due to distillation has zero carbs or sugar. Drink away."
Alcohol in moderation maybe but too much isn't so good.

I chuckle at the ultra low carb solution to prednisone side effects and inflammation. I couldn't find anything that was good to eat. Then I read an article that said eating causes inflammation.
"Experiencing inflammation after eating is a normal biological response."

I do the best I can. I had a built in deterrent to eating with trigeminal neuralgia.
I'm laughing as I write the following recommendation for trigeminal neuralgia.
"Your mouth can also be a source of triggers. Brushing your teeth, eating, drinking, smiling, talking and kissing can trigger attacks. So consider eating softer foods so you don't have to chew as much."
I am happy I can laugh about it now. Sometimes being able to eat anything at all without getting a facial electric shock was challenging. "No chew foods" were loaded with carbs.
