My poor husband has been suffering for years with a strange form of arthritis. It moves all over his body. When we were first married it would manifest itself in his hips, and has since moved to his eyes, then his chest, and now it's in his back, and it only comes at night, but is extremely painful for several hours through the night. My aunt Theresa is on a diet for her arthritis which eliminates white sugar, white flour, and white rice. You are also supposed to take Omega 3 and Borage Oil supplements. Mike and I thought that we would put him on this diet and see if we could see any results. I wanted to blog about it so we can really track when the pain (hopefully) will start subsiding.
Yesterday, Monday September 20, was our first day. He ate only sugar and flour free foods for breakfast and lunch, and for dinner with our curry he ate brown rice instead of white rice. I made him a sugar free strawberry shake for dessert instead of the cookies the rest of the family had. He woke up this morning and said his pain was still quite bad throughout the night. But results aren't expected overnight. So we are on Day 2 of his diet today. I will keep you updated on our results. The idea for this diet came from the book "Inflammation Nation." Quite an interesting read. Here's to hoping it helps!

Hope this works for you! My sister lived with excruciating body/joint pain for a time in her life. The docs could not figure it out and ended up saying she had rhumitoid (sp?) arthritis. They wanted to put her on drugs that would then cause other problems down the road and so and so forth. She said thanks but no thanks. She cut out all dairy, processed foods and the only meat she ate was turkey. She ate plenty of fruits, veggies, legumes, tofu (eewww yuk!) (gee does this kinda sound like the WofW?) It took her about a year to get rid of this mystery pain but she did get rid of it then slowly introduced foods into her diet that she had previously not been eating. 10or more years later she is still pain free.
Hope it works for him.
Thanks so much both of you. Lee Ann, I am so glad this worked for your sister. It has given me hope that we can end years of pain with this diet plan!!!
