Go to a Whole-Foods/ healthfood type store and get them in bulk (or off of the internet), this kind of source is more pure, better quality and cheaper.</p> <p>* Cinnamon<br /> * Turmeric<br /> * Ginger<br /> * Bromelain (enzyme)<br /> * Devil&#39;s Claw<br /> * St. John&#39;s Wort<br /> * White Willow<br /> * Licorice Root</p> <p>Too name a few ;-) </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27683 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:52:06 +0000 samhansmom 27683@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Nightshades, really? I eat quite a few of those - I love raw peppers, and tomatoes and also baked eggplant. Maybe that&#39;s why the pain doesn&#39;t go away completely. I guess I need to experiment with that. Thanks Tarlach. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27467 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:32:14 +0000 Tarlach 27467@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Nightshades cause joint pain and are the likely cause of Arthritis. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27425 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:22:26 +0000 lbd 27425@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I had definite finger joint pain throughout my 40s. I went gluten-free about 18 months ago and all of the pain is completely gone in addition to a whole list of other ailments that disappeared. I realize not everyone is as gluten-intolerant as some, but removal of gluten grains seems to be a key to less inflammation. In my case, the biggest gain was eradication of migraines that I had had since childhood. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27411 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:51:43 +0000 MightyMite 27411@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;ve also had hand pain that started when the odometer rolled to 40. I put it down to my job, which alternates computer use with repetitive stress-inducing lab prep work, on top of the ravages of a history of gymnastics, martial arts, and cycling (shifting frequently spares your knees at the expense of your hands). I had good luck with a supplement called Zyflamend that relieved about 75% of the pain (can&#39;t do glucosamine due to severe shellfish allergy). Eliminating gluten grains in mid-June brought almost total pain relief. With Mom&#39;s 80th birthday celebration last weekend I had cake for 2 days straight, along with other massive wheat indulgences. This morning my right thumb was achy, for the first time since I went mostly gluten-free back in mid-June. Not sure if this is immediate fall-out from the weekend gluten-fest, a delayed reaction to last Wednesday&#39;s pizza pig-out, or a cumulative effect from the combination. Yeah, when some of us fall off the wagon, we keep bouncing down the street. On the bright side, I am almost 19 hours into a 24-hour <span class="tooltip" title="Intermittent Fast">IF</span> and I&#39;ve had no increase in hunger twinges despite the high-carb lead-in over the times when I&#39;ve gone in low-carb. These twinge lasts less than 10 minutes and occur around 18 hours or more after my last meal (seems an exaggeration to call it a genuine &quot;pang&quot;). I will be very interested to see how long this thumb pain persists now that the gluten onslaught has ceased. To confound things a bit I did lift heavy this morning (among other things, 4 sets of 5 deadlifts, which do normally test my grip strength as well as my leg strength). </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27396 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:29:29 +0000 Indiscreet 27396@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;ve started getting this but I put it down to my addiction to computer games more than anything. I just went to Japan and Korea on holiday and ended up eating rice most days. The pain in my hands went away, which indicates to me that it was because I wasn&#39;t near a computer, rather than dietary. But certainly, wheat and similar grains cause inflammation, no question. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27395 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:27:58 +0000 Griff 27395@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>OTB: I have no idea why, but I keep getting double and triple posts even though I only send them once.

Jus&#39; kidding!</p> <p>Well, I&#39;ve had finger joint pain worsen, I do believe, since going <span class="tooltip" title="Primal Blueprint">PB</span>. I&#39;m almost grain free, maybe a couple of ounces a week of product. </p> <p>Of course, &quot;Proximity in time does not equal causation.&quot; Maybe I&#39;m just getting older and this is part of my DNA. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27330 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:44:10 +0000 Griff 27330@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <br /> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27329 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:44:10 +0000 Griff 27329@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Glucosamine and chondroitin will help with joint pain, but it sounds to me like you have the same grain hypersensitivity/allergy that I do. I had rheumatoid arthritis. Since I stopped eating wheat, I&#39;ve had no more arthritis pain anywhere. </p> <p>I&#39;d rather have the pain-free life and no carbs than the carbs and the pain. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/finger-joint-pain#post-27326 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:39:01 +0000 samhansmom 27326@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I was amazed while reading <span class="tooltip" title="Primal Blueprint">PB</span> that Mark also had his finger joints start hurting when he was in his early 40&#39;s. The same thing happened to me a little over a year ago. I will be 44 in November. Every time I stop carbohydrates, most of the pain goes away. I experimented several times and each time brought the same results. No grains, no pain. So now I am doing my best to be Primal but at times it can be difficult with a 3 and 6 y/o in the house. This last time that I ended up eating carbs was at a football party and it is taking longer for pain to subside. Any suggestions on supplements to ease this up a bit? </p>
