Let us know how you get on please.

Currently at 7 months of continuous oxalate dumping, which is easing, with easily treatable RLS symptoms or none at all. Previously I would get a few hours of disturbed sleep per night.

Solid sleep night after night now.

Hi I am interested to hear what things have lowered your inflamation. Would you please give us much detail or sources of information that you have found to be sound?

Thanks Graham

Oh wow that’s years of research Graham. It really is an individual thing too. The fodmap diet made no difference. Paleo diet, no additives, no aged processed meats, exercise pumps the lymphatic system, no or low sugar in my diet, for me, I react to amines and salicylates so keep those foods to a minimum. Vit c is a natural antihistamine so a teaspoon of calcium or sodium ascorbate I took daily for a time. RLS always reduces if I take the c powder with a teaspoon of bicarb. Alkalising the system helps lower inflammation as does spiralina.

I did some reading on this recently, but I can't find the reference/link, if I manage to find it again, I'll let you know.

It was some experimental evidence that suggested that chronic or subclinical inflammation is a factor in RLS because, if I recall correctly, of proteins called cytokines.

In effect however, amost anything that causes subclinical inflammation then, can be a problem.

Some of the causes of inflammation may be food or other ingested substances and hence there will be individual variation in this e.g,. if you have a gluten intolerance or a a lactose intolerance, a reaction to food additives, SIBO, IBS etc.

Carbohydrates, especially monsaccharides are a common cause of subclinical inflammation. Such subclinical inflammation can contribute also to cardiovascular disease, diabetes or cancers.

In general, what might help reduce inflammation could be an anti-inflammatiory diet or a strong antioxidant. Various of these seem to be popular at various times. When I ws younger it was selenium, more recently, celery juice or black seed oil!

Unfortunately, there's many elements of our environment that cause inflammation, you can't stop breathing!
