Now you have got me interested. What forms of sugar did you consume so that it effected your joint pain, making it worse?
Powdered sugar (real or fake)? I eat a lot of fresh fruits, but I don’t think enough to increase my arthritis joint pain.
On the whole30 diet you are allowed natural fruits which can be high in sugar. You can’t have any other kind of sugar that is added in..not even monk fruit used as sweetener. I drank Almond Breeze banana milk...so my body did have some sugar during this diet. I also ate a lot of fruit...40 blueberries a day.
After the 30 days I binged on some coconut rolls from Costco that have coconut sugar. maybe if I hadn’t eaten 20 of them I wouldnt have had a problem but 10 only have about 4 grams of sugar. I went off sugar for a few days. Ate something else with sugar and it flared up again.
When you go off the diet you are suppose to add one type of ingredient at a time to see what it does to you
the other thing that can cause joint pain is histamine.
