Here is what The Arthritis Foundation has to say about diet and its affect on your RA.

For me, change of diet, before I did any other treatment, brought about 50% improvement in my pain and inflammation.  Food alone brought me from housebound to walking 2 hrs before having to sit. 

I found a doctor trained in nutrition and leaky gut syndrome and heavy metal toxicity and in one year we brought my RA from high to weak positive.  At the same time, I also began AP, but the diet change was before I began AP.

Bloodtest for food allergies identified foods I must avoid.  Milk protein (cow only) was one and Soy Protein the other.  To this day, if I eat dairy, within 2 hrs my joints will hurt badly. 

Did food cause my RA?  No.  Did food cure my RA? No.  Did food help my RA?  YES! SIGNIFICANTLY!

Thanks Susan for the links and info! I wish that this info was routinely given to people with AI disorders. When I was diagnosed with SD, they did not tell me anything other than the list of possible symptoms I could experience. Changing diet is one option that can empower and deliver positive results.
