Has anyone tried fasting for arthritis or researched food alergies causing it?

[Guest guest]

I bought a book called Conquering Arthritis by Barbara Allan

Overall I'm disappointed with the amount of material in the book but

the author had arthritis and found it's cause to be related to her

food allergies.

She recommends fasting and then slowly introducing food back into your

diet to figure out what might be causing you to react, thus causing

arthritis.

I guess I am having a hard time believing arthritis is caused by food

allergies after reading Henry Scammell. It sounds plausible to me for

a minority % of arthritis sufferers but not everyone.

Has anyone found arthritis to be directly linked to being

sensative/allergic to certain foods? I'm thinking of trying the fast

to see how I feel, she claims you will feel dramatically better after

the fast of 5-7 days. However she doesn't address what to do if you

do not feel better hehe.

Any thoughts you guys have before I try the fast would be greatly

appreciated.
