OT: What really turned things around for me was an 11-day fast. Fasts are pretty drastic, so I was fortunate to have a practising nurse who was also my yoga instructor and trained in Ayurveda to supervise it.

After two days there was no pain and after three days no inflammation, and for many months afterwards I was able to stop taking medications and have never had to take them again to the same level.

The best thing I ever tasted was the first food I ate after 11 days. It was the water rice had been boiled in, diluted 64 times with pure water. Delicious!

One other thing a fast allows is that you can add foods back in one at a time and see the effect, as many arthritics have food triggers. I discovered that I have to watch how much tomato I eat at one sitting, although the rest of the nightshade family -- tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, and potatoes -- which troubles many arthritics seem to be OK for me. I also cut milk products except for cheese and yoghurt out entirely.

General dietary principles:
Avoid milk products, coffee, be careful of nightshade family
Good foods include Omega 3-rich stuff like pulses and cold water fish.

I have a form of arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, related to lupus and Krone's disease. It has attacked most of the joints in my body, plus some spots you might not expect like my eyes and stomach.
