avoid your acid foods like citrus fruits.and foods with lots of preservatives

It depends on why you have inflammation & whether it is confined to 1, 2,3 joints or .....everywhere by that I mean joints muscles organs. If it is a specific area like knee joint you can use a local anti inflammatory gel/cream but the more joints and areas that are affected the more likely it is that you will need a systemic anti inflammatory Glucosamine, ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac there are dozens of them. They come and go in popularity, as far as GPs are concerned it tends to be trial & error to find what works best for you. I have been on Diclofenic (Voltarol) for years now but only after 5/10 years of trying others I will use gel for an exacerbation of localised pain in my knee or fingers on occasions. Lately I have started using lidocaine patches on my back, does nothing for the inflammation but it does numb the nerve a tad and so you perceive the pain less. Heat rub I used to use & still do for spasm or really cold joint (usually my shoulder)
The more entrenched and intractable the cause of the inflammation the more you will require serious intervention

I think this is good information Kathleen but I have not eaten bananas for a few years now but was advised to eat them because of the magnesium in them that would help my muscles, and it is doing so. Also I agree about the fruit juice but if you stick to alkaline fruits this could be okay. Do not eat oranges, apples all the berries range etc, lemon and imd is okay as it turn to alkaline when it hits your stomach. This was advised by a Nutrishionist so have done this and t has helped. Ginger is also a good thing to eat. Of course everyone is different and it is best to try things and see what suits the individual person. Also I find an ice pack on my back can reduce inflammation a lot. (Not good this time of year but lovely in the summer) I find anything too hot on my back causes more problems but this is me and it would not of course suit everyone. Also a little bi-carb on the end of a teaspoon in a little drop of tepid water first thing in the morning also helps. I would say just try different things and see what suits. Good luck. Sending hugs to everyone. Ann x

my physical therapist said the keto diet is real good to stop or slow inflamation...

Diclofenic and naproxen can cause really bad stomach problems and shouldn't be taken without a protein pump inhibitor so please be very wary of these. I am on warfarin but still take turmeric. It's ok once you get it in your system and your warfarin levels are adjusted Turmeric only helps a little though It's not a magic powder! Good luck
