special diets

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone is trying anything special with their diet to try

and control their RA. I have been off wheat, sugar (including fruit) and

dairy (all the good things in life) for a few months now. Things have

improved, but it may just be all the meds and supplements kicking in. I did

try an experiment yesterday - I ate chicken burger with a whole wheat bun,

and some blueberries. Maybe a bite of a cookie. Later that night I noticed a

definite stiffening in my right hand and this morning I felt worse than I

have in a few days.

anyway, thought I would pass that on. I'd be interested to hear if anyone

else is doing anything diet wise to try and control the symptoms.

Gloria, for what's it's worth... could be the wheat! Although I haven't been able to cut it out of my own diet.... many of us have wheat sensitivity....

So much to learn and know about diet, it's daunting...

hello everyone..

I have found that eating chocolate or freshly ground coffee ( yes i know the

good things in life). Will almost always invariably lead to my arthristis

getting worse.

With chocolate i feel the effects within 15mins. Has anyone else in the group

experienced similar symptoms.

Gloria,

Yes I use a special diet and supplements.....have been

for years and it is working great! Sometimes I faulter

and I know it!

I dont eat refined or bleached sugar or flour.

Very little processed foods.

No Sodas, no artifical sweetners,

I drink plenty of water and excercise when i have the

time. And I take targeted supplements.

I have had no signs of my RA for years now :>)
