Re: Inflammation & labs questions...

[Guest guest]

I am under the impression that fish oil lowers inflammation. I just had a

conversation yesterday with my RN firend, I have tried it but didn't like it

so much, I may force myself now that I know this.

Hi, Tess,

We hardly ever hear from you these days. Sorry that your CRP and SED

rate have gone up.

I found an article that lists some anti-inflammatory foods, plus tells

foods to avoid. As I remember, you also have diabetes, and these foods

are good for that, too. Actually, I eat a lot of these foods, which

include spinach, blueberries, onions, walnuts, sweet potatoes, etc.

I take Nordic Naturals fish oil fror GNC Health Food Stores. It is a little

pricey compared to some brands but has no fishy taste whatsoever.

The brand I have tried is Nordic Naturals, says it has a touch of lemon, it

still repeats on me. What do you take it with, Sue. I made sure to buy the

best out there and still can't get them down.
