But i still have questions in my mind .I gone through a MRI test which says i have a very mild bulging disc at Lumbar Region , but thats not the cause of my pain , actually the pain is located on the right side of my buttocks .Obviously its inflammation . . I already stopped taking all inflammatory food but the pain is still there . Even i stopped taking tomato , potato ,wheat coz it also encourages inflammation . so wat could be the reason of this inflammation ? i have had this chronic pain for last 1.5 years and nothing seems to work . Can you help me in it ? Thank You for providing such a beautiful information .

But I do like to caution you with the daily use of aspirin. Unless you're instructed to take any aspirin by your physician, self-medicating with aspirin on a long-term basis can be dangerous due to the possible adverse effects, such as internal bleeding. Normally, doctors will only prescribe daily aspirin to patients who have had a heart attack or stroke, or those who have a high risk of either. The pros and cons of aspirin have to be weighed carefully based on your existing health condition as well as the drugs and supplements you may be taking now. Even when daily aspirin is prescribed, it doesn't mean you have to take it infinitely. It has to be monitored carefully to prevent unwanted side effects. Good luck!

If you're looking for a list of foods that are categorized based on the Inflammation Factor (IF) Ratings, then I'm afraid NutritionData.com and the book, <em>The Inflammation Free Diet Plan</em> will be your best bet simply because IF Ratings isn't widely adopted at this point in time. If you use an iPhone, there's also an IF Tracker app (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/if-tracker/id356816950) that you can use to find anti-inflammatory foods for some 2,200 generic and brand-name foods. Otherwise, I haven't come across a site that has a fairly comprehensive list of foods that are anti-inflammatory. Do note that besides taking anti-inflammatory foods, it's also important to cut down on <a href="http://theconsciouslife.com/top-10-inflammatory-foods-to-avoid.htm" rel="nofollow">foods that are inflammatory</a>, <a href="http://theconsciouslife.com/anti-inflammatory-diet-how-to-balance-omega-3-omega-6-fats.htm" rel="nofollow">balance your intake of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids</a>, get adequate rest and exercise regularly. Take care. Hi Morgan, Sorry to hear about your condition.

Know any websites with such a list? I already use NutritionData.com, but it won't allow me to search by the IF factor, so it takes a lot of time trying to find foods. Thanks in advance.

I guess what I am asking is: what is the IF factor of baby aspirin? Thanks! This may sound silly, but a baby aspirin or 2 daily, 1 with each meal, would provide anti-inflammatory properties, no?

It's not easy to determine the inflammatory potential of the foods we eat, because there may be potent anti-inflammatory compounds that haven't been confirmed or discovered yet. But Monica's work is commendable. She considers a number of factors that may play a part in inflammation and puts them together in a rating system that's easy to understand for everyone. So, IF Rating should be seen as a guide, like food labels (which by themselves are incomplete), and not as a food bible. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Vin.
