There is lots discussion re dietary influences on inflammation. Podcasts and Articles by Functional Medicine Doctors, Integrative Health Doctors, Nutritionists, etc.
In particular they note sugar and starches increase inflammation. Also omega-6 fatty acids which, in modern times, the typical diet is overly high in - from seed oils (like soy, sunflower, etc - used in most processed foods & restaurants) and livestock fed grain based diets. Lowering omega 6 ratio in relation to omega 3 is important (as omega 6 interferes with omega 3 in the body).
Gluten sensitivity causing inflammation also increasingly talked about though still controversial.
I guess this is getting more into "alternative" rather than "medication" related......
