  Modern medicine!

    The root commenter didn't claim anything that your earlier comment contradicted. They just explained that they found a correlation between diet and pain (along with other physiological symptoms). Nobody said anything that excluded the notion that the pain was a symptom of an illness. Indeed, when is pain ever not a symptom of illness or injury?

      Chronic pain is an illness in and of itself. That's the point, he doesn't know anything about it and he's advocating a random experiment he ran.

        Please point to the research paper(s) that document "chronic pain" as a condition experienced by people who are otherwise perfectly healthy. I've had (and to some degree still have) the condition I think you're talking about. I've had pain in various parts of my body for 15+ years, and it's been difficult to isolate a cause. But there is a cause, and now it's been found, it's being treated, and the condition is subsiding. And yes, avoiding sugar/alcohol/gluten/dairy (along with other known inflammatory food ingredients) has been a part - though not all - of my treatment. This is not some "random experiment"; it's an approach that has been widely tested and is advocated by many practitioners, including conventional physicians.
