thoughts on "inflammation nation"? 22 months ago

it’s fair to say that each of us has probably had different reactions to and experiences with various approaches to treating UC… that being said, i just finished reading “Inflammation Nation,” by floyd chilton (all in one night!), and would be really interested to hear if anyone here has opinions/experience on this diet. it’s supposed to be a diet specifically meant to inhibit overactive inflammatory systems; it’s heavy on certain kinds of fish and nuts, light on refined carbs, and even comes with its own official food pyramid! (why does american society love to stack food into pyramids? i couldn’t tell you.)

anyway, my condition has been good lately, after about 2 years on the same medicine. this diet makes me curious, and i’d love to hear about any real live experiences with it. thanks!



doctor visit 3 years ago

went to see my doc today. he’s a good guy. decided not to make any changes to my meds, but i was reminded not to play hero when things get worse. guess it makes sense that he’d rather catch things earlier than later. i feel blessed that i feel fine… the potential next steps don’t sound appealing at all.

my new goal: appreciate every day of good health!
