@altabiznet you've mistaken my post with someone else's, I haven't mentioned fish oil and I don't take Qunol. I do take codliver oil but that's because I don't eat fish.
I take MSM, liquorice root, curcumin and cat's claw and my latest blood tests show I'm in compete remission.
Thank you for clarifying. I have seen people reporting that this combination of MSM, licorice root, curcumin and cat's claw gave them good results with RA and other inflammatory conditions, both symptomatically and on blood tests. Not all brands produce the same results. Please share the brands that worked for you and how you take these supplements - doses, with or without food, all supplements at once, or separately during the day. That will be helpful.

Sensitivity to cucurmin is possible. I reacted to a good quality product with noticeable flushing. Since I have a lot of allergies discontinued. I prefer to get it by cooking Indian foods. Maybe lesser doses but I think less risk. Also use a lot of fresh ginger.
I get it—autoimmune is very confusing & difficult to find clear explanations. Regardless of your specific disorder, it helps to understand the primary immune response is inflammation—so look for anti-inflammatory diet plans. In general, start with basic healthy eating—avoid highly processed & high sugar foods. 70% of your white blood cells are in your gut, so many of us with autoimmune have food sensitivities—you might try an elimination diet (remove 1 group for a month then add back) &/or food journal to track your body’s reaction to the major inflammation food groups: lactose, gluten, casein, legumes.
This doesn’t mean you can never indulge , but to give you better information on the costs of food choices. Feeling better tends to be worth it. Good luck!
@leew01 I'd say the best answer would be to Google anti-inflammatory foods and just see how you can fit more of those foods into your diet, really individualize it. I have been doing this for years and it has been quite an adventure. And it does work to keep inflammation low. It just takes time.
A Mediterranean will assist All inflammation issues. Many books or articles written on it. and benefits, Fresh produce, herbs, non inflam oils etc,. Also, get of things that cause inflammation like pure cane sugar. etc.Green tea is an aide too.
@leew01 Hello, an anti-inflammatory diet does not depend on what your disease is, it is a diet that helps reduce the overall production of inflammatory agents in your body. Here is one suggestion from Mayo Clinic on how to get started: https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/want-to-ease-chronic-inflammation
I found this book very helpful in deciding which foods to prioritize: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLKMWFH3/ref=mes-dp
Finally, I remember my Grandma's old saying - "put more colors on the plate" - a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, paired with some lean protein, and some healthy carbs.
Last night, dinner was pork loin roasted with carrots, mushrooms, onions and garlic served alongside sliced cucumbers and onions in olive oil and vinegar. Lunch was Greek yogurt with raspberries, blueberries and sprouted pumpkin seeds.

3 Reactions@mlledaffodil Where can I find a good diet to follow with my autoimmune disease? The only thing is, nobody can tell me what my autoimmune disease is.
