Diet dilemma. Eat this, don't eat that. I have avoided supplements other than vitamin D3 and Areds 2 for AMD which is another dilemma. My ophthamologist suggested eye vitamins, the retina specialist thinks they would not really help my situation. My opinion is that 2 of those capsules is such a mega mega dose it could be harmful. I'm afraid to take it, afraid not to take it so I take just one capsule every day.
I assumed I was predisposed to pmr. Life happens. I was down to 1 mg prednisone, thought pmr was gone, my hands swelled, now have synovitis, some sort of inflammatory arthritis. Is it something I was eating?? Or me being me?? Is what seems to be a healthy diet not really healthy?? I was thinking moderation was a good path but which path to follow. When you have multiple medical problems there are too many forks in the road. Eat leafy greens, don't eat leafy greens, eat potatoes, tomatoes, don't eat them. What triggers autoimmune response besides diet?
Eat avocados. I bought one only to read I could be allergic to avocado because I have a latex allergy. So I didn't want to chance it.
For now I'm avoiding processed foods, fast foods, red meat, sugary foods, fatty foods and salt. Most everything else in moderation, eating fresh fruits and vegetabkes.
