Any type of anti-inflammatory diet will help reduce the inflammation inside the body. Please check with your doctor before starting any new supplements or over the counter medications.
Eating a diet that is based around anti inflammation is best. Tumaric is good things with lots of magnesium and zinc as well as whole fruits and vegetables.
Stay away from fried fatty foods

I am not aware of any such diet, although eating healthy is always a good thing.

I feel much better when I stay on a diet which reduces inflammation. Things like bread, pasta, sugar, caffeine, lots of meat, etc create an acidic environment in the body which increases inflammation. When talking about pain and inflammation that is already present, it helps to eliminate as many additional sources of inflammation as possible.

A anti-inflammatory diet

It’s been my experience that a high protein low carb diet is beneficial but every person is different

A high protein anti-inflammatory diet improves Arachnoiditis.

Protein - It provides the amino acid building blocks that are necessary for the production of neurotransmitters and tissue healing.

You must eat some of the following each day - Fish, pork, chicken, eggs, turkey, cottage cheese and beef. Spirulina and chlorella algae, black beans, and pumpkin seeds are much higher in protein than meat. If you can't or won't eat any of the above you must obtain protein powder drinks and/or protein bars from the health food store.

Vegetables and fruits - Some vegetables and fruits have anti-inflammatory activity. Eat some of these each day: Carrot, broccoli, radish, blueberry, apple, celery, brussel sprouts, onion, blackberry, beets, spinach, lettuce, raspberry, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon and strawberry.

Drinks (Only use dietary sugars if weight is a problem) - Coffee, tea, dietary sodas and water. Low dose, occasional alcoholic drinks are acceptable.

Banned to control weight - Milk, regular sodas, fruit juice, bread,rolls,buns

Highly restricted to control weight (Eat these very sparingly) - Potatoes including french fries, corn, cakes/pies and pasta/pizza.

Supplements - Multi-vitamin/mineral cap/tab-daily, b-12 weekly, brewer's yeast, alfalfa and algae.

Some people do control some of the symptoms with diet but still follow their doctors regimen

Reducing all food additives as arachnoiditis survivors are hypersensitive to chemicals this means all chemical exposure, smells for all irritate and increase inflammation

Anti inflammatory diets definitely help.

rely on a high protein diet and low on sugar.

Dr. Tennant recommends an anti-inflammatory diet. I spent a year on a very restrictive diet that eliminated sugar in all forms and in all foods. I found four good sugar supplements that I use intermittently. Am trying to increase protein since I am a vegetarian. Have trouble with cruciferous vegetables though used to love them. I don't eat much.

Diets with adequate protein is essential. Fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants. Supplements such as P.E.A https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1596/palmitoylethanolamide-pea, I- argenine, taurine etc. As per Tennant's 3 component protocol.

I personally haven’t tried a specific diet yet but several people in support groups encourage them

Yes, we have a chronic inflammation problem. The Mitterrandian Diet is sometimes called the anti-inflammation diet.

Avoid sugars like soda, deserts, cakes, and high fructose corn syrup. Avoid foods with flour like breads pasta and pizza. Alcohol has a negative effect for people with inflammation, it does for me.
