“An interesting question though is what exactly is it about arthritis that causes inflammation to kick up, and if there isn’t a better solution to fixing the underlying problem rather than attacking the symptom of inflammation.”

arthritis IS inflammation; any -itis means inflammation. if there were no inflammation, then there would be no arthritis.

I did the grocery shop over the weekend and today he has some walnuts in with his lunch and we have plenty of oily fish now too. That is great news about the passata! He is lucky that I am the cook of the house so if he wants to eat he has to eat what I make (haha)... actually I love to cook so it will be great to try new recipes that are going to help him.

My partner is suffering a great deal (only 26) and the doctors here in Sweden are RUBBISH. So far their advice has been to take painkillers /anti inflammatory pills every day. This has been for nearly a year now. Personally this advice appals me!!! So I am making him change his eating in the hope that something is going to work! Have started him on omega 3 capsules too. Any advice greatly appreciated! (We are going back to the doctors today... sigh....) <strong>@ Rochelle: Tomato Passata is great and is actually higher in anti-oxidants than raw tomatoes.....So go ahead and use it in dishes, I regularly use it for soups or making chilli, Try and go for organic and add Basil and Sea Salt...... As for supplements let your boyfriend start taking a TSP of Cod Liver Oil twice a day (after food) and start eating more anti-inflammatory foods like Avocado, Salmon (All oily fish) and Pineapple. Combine that with some exercise and things should start to settle. Also let him learn how to cope with stress as this can be a hige factor in inflammation (check out my archives for posts on relaxation/stress reduction)</strong> I was wondering if tomato paste and passata would count as being the same as eating fresh tomatoes if you are trying to not eat anything from the nightshade family….I make all my own sauces from scratch and like the low fat tomato option…

The other items we have in great abundance here are home-grown tomatoes. Their taste is great but after eating them for a while my entire digestive system is in flame, bloaded and hurtful. Any of you had this experience? Lastly, I would like to respond to Dr. Snyder's comment on fats. While I agree that there are plenty of bad fats around, good, organic saturated fats are not part of the group. I suggest you research the subject on line and particularly the Weston A. Price Foundation's web site for more information. You will be amazed at what you will learn! Cheers and good health, Gabriella Dear All -

It's equally important to understand which foods promote inflammation; including an increase in omega 6 rich foods and the Nightshade group. Pro-inflammatory foods will increase inflammation, increase your pain from the inflammation and may also raise your risk for chronic disease. Loading up on junk foods, high-fat meats, sugar and fast foods will increase inflammation in your body. This is partially due to the unhealthy fats used in preparing and processing these foods, especially trans fats and saturated fats. Processed meats such as lunch meats, hot dogs and sausages contain chemicals such as nitrites that are associated with increased inflammation and chronic disease. Eliminate high sugar foods such as sodas, soft drinks, pastries, pre-sweetened cereals and candy.

I eat them with my eggs in the morning and on my chicken sandwich in the afternoon. My skin and hair look great. And I've noticed that I'm not waking up with the usual aches and creaks in my body.
