Potatoes, tomatoes, white rice, white bread etc., stay away from acid foods, saturated fats and trans fatty foods. These increase inflammation.
Good foods are walnuts, any foods with omega 3 , fish, any type of berries, concorde grape juice, cabbage, cauliflower, greens. These help immune system.
Hope this helps

Gluten Products can cause flare ups...wheat, oats, rye. And stay away from sugar. I know this is tough because I have tried to go completely organic and eat a lot of raw foods. I would say just do your best and have whatever you want at times just dont over do it. Pepsi has always been my favorite but I really regret it cuz it causes a major flare up. If you want to try some supplements then try 100% Krill oil and fish oil.

Hi Dolly,
I'd say stay away from too much sugar, processed foods and alcohol.
Fish, fruits and veggies, especially greens, are our friends.
