Hello all
I am baffled and miserable. Iritis inflammations for almost 4 years - lots of indifferent medical care. Lots of tests with nothing showing. I didn't even test positive for HLA B27.No allergies either. It seems to me that if my iritis isn't fully inflamed, it is always just under the surface waiting to resurface. I have been on Pred Forte now since March and before that Sept through to Dec. And I cannot determine any pattern.
I am trying to read all I can but it all seems so contradictory: avoid all sugars and starches, avoid all nightshades, avoid all dairy, eggs, animal flesh, avoid alcohol, other drying substances, go grain-free, follow paleo...try fasting, try bilberry, eat ginger - don't eat ginger - increase omega 3s - don't eat avocados. I swear I'd live on only water if I thought it would help.
I will follow a strict diet but which one? I am an otherwise healthy, strong, upbeat person. 54 years old, active, slender, sleep well, practice yoga....
