I have noticed that if I stop eating or drinking certain foods like chocolate, potatoes, or alcohol my PR flares stop or reduce. Why doesn everyone with PR just stop these things in their diet?
A. Just because you have found something that triggers your PR flares this doesn’t mean it is the same for everyone who has PR. As PR is different for everyone so is the so called “Cure”. Most people will try everything at least twice to try and stop the pain. These people will know more than anyone else which helps or hinders their PR. In my experience anything that bothers your body will have an affect on your PR and the way you can handle/deal with the pain. If you have an intolerance to food or weather etc this can make the body find it hard to handle the PR pain. Eliminate the ‘misery’ and things seem better and help the body fight back. Due to the random timing of flare ups, it is easy to assume that a start or an end was caused by a certain trigger, when actually it is coincidence. Especially if the coincidence happens two or three times it is vey hard to believe otherwise.
