PMR Diet: Foods to eat and avoid

Glad for your success!
I am in a big dilemma with diet. I have all along been having no fat yogurt and a slice of low fat, low sodium cheese for lunch. Lately a half sandwich with the cheese, oatnut bread, lettuce and herbs. Yogurt and the cheese are for my calcium intake. I have oatmilk at breakfast. So is this dairy inflammatory or anti-inflammatory? I have eliminated almonds and almond milk because of a probable kidney stone episode earlier this year. Eating walnuts instead. I have borderline osteoporosis, my dad had kidney stones three times so I need calcium from diet. I take vitamin D3 at breakfast and dinner.
And what's with tomatoes? Anti-inflammatory? Nightshades? It seems a toss up. I'm eating cherry tomatoes because we're growing them.

PS Most of your plate should consist of colorful, anti-inflammatory vegetables and a little fruit. It looks like you are concentrating on the wrong foods to eat.

I do consider dairy to be pro-inflammatory, but I do eat a little Grass-fed organic, unsweetened yogurt a few times a week because of the probiotics. I use unsweetened soy milk instead of cow's milk. I rarely eat anything processed, including bread. I had kidney stones years ago, but as long as I eat the way I do and drink more water, it hasn't recurred in many years. Walnuts are high in omega-3's, which we all need more of. I don't take D3 because I get plenty of sunshine and my D level has been fine. My bones are stronger than most women my age, but I also get plenty of weight bearing exercise. I'm not worried about tomatoes. Find more information at http://www.nutritionfacts.org
