Be aware oif the cruciferous vegetables and also the nightshade familyies. In addition, starches arre a definite no-no. Cut down or out if possible, starches. The gut needs to heal. Once healed and given the tiem to heal, thenj can start to re-introduce the foods. But then, continue with a LSD, low starch diet. A wothwhile reference work is that by Carol Sinclair 'The IBS Low Starch Diet Book'. Full of good information. And again, would reference Prof Ebringer's seminal work on starches and inflammatory diseases and the link between the gut and inflammatory diseases. For those of us suffering from gut and inflammatory diseases it is a bit of a mind field. But low starch, avoiding inflammatory foods (all of them) and keeping a food diary, together with addressing helping the gut fuirther by the use of pre and pro biotics (good old *plain yogurt is excellent) one has a chance of conquering the worst of these diseases and leading a normal and pain free life. Bonne sante. IBD – together with the AS is one of the diseases from which I suffer. Be aware oif the cruciferous vegetables and also the nightshade familyies.

The big problem with salmon is that it is mostly farmed. Farmed salmon is dredged with antibiotics and chemicals. What 'was' a good source of excellent nutrition is now nothing but a lead source to anything but good nutrition - filled as it is with chemicals and the ubiquitous antibiotics and the salmon themselves fed with highly suspect highly processed pelleted foods. I used to like salmon but now it makes me throw up - literally! Refuse to buy it ever again - unless not industrialised, and free roaming in unpolluted waters. Don't ignore the fact that much of available fish is toxic from mercury pollutents. Salmon is not in and of itself inflammatory. The big problem with salmon is that it is mostly farmed.

See a new paper on the SAA (Spondylitis Association of America) websit referencing the gut and inflammatory diseases. At 'last' the gut is being more and more addressed as to being strongly linked to inflammatory diseases including AS; RA; PsA (psoriatic arthritis). This follows on from the excellent and ground breaking (seminal) research by Prof Alan Ebringer. Inflammatory arthritis – sounds like ankylsoing spondylitis.

I am bu one of many persons so afflicted by the nightshade family and also by the cruciferous family - IBD refers. So please, anyone who is not so compromised by such, do not knock the facts of the matter. And as for 'not proven by 'studies'' be advised that no-one is going to set up such studies. Very diff to implement - think about it - and, pharma is not going to make anything out of such studies, so it will receive NO funding. One day the no-sayers will wake up to the facts of the matter, meantime, it behoves those with sense to follow on through and listen to the 'gut'.

Most of the foods listed here are in fact inflammatory some are even highly inflammatory like salmon. The one decently antiinflammatory food listed is broccoli. Whoever wrote this needs to do better research because they mostly got it plain wrong. This list is misinformation.

You are supposed to strive for a plus 50 rating at the end of the day and foods are either plus or minus, it's that simple. Blueberries are not anti inflamitory. It may be a small number but it still makes them an inflamatory. Blueberries are a negative 30 on the IF rating scale which puts them in the inflamatory catagory.

Incidentally, I've also written an article about <a href="http://theconsciouslife.com/anti-inflammatory-foods-inflammation-factor-ratings.htm" rel="nofollow">Inflammation Factor Ratings</a> some time ago. However, like you, I find the ratings for certain foods quite bizarre. So I take the rating with a pinch of salt and use it only when I need an additional reference. Thank you for sharing, Sebastion.

(Though I really can't imagine how coconut milk is an inflammatory food when it has lauric acid in it...) We found out that a soup my mom made last night (with steak, jalapenos...stuff like that) had a much better score then the mashed potatoes I had made for my lunch.

I've been through the pain before, so I know how it feels like. I'm glad that you're making headway in your battle against acne. As mentioned, every individual is unique, so it's important to find out what triggers acne and what works for you. I hope my experience will be of some use to you and others so that the experimental process is cut short. Good luck! You’re welcome, Sarah.
