Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Hi Trish I would be VERY grateful if when you have a litttle time you could let me havemore detail of the special diet you are on. I am a vegetarian (no meat fish or eggs) and am worrying that the majority of my foods seem to contain all you gave up andam wondering if I change my eating habits I would have a better time. Any info greatly appreciated.

And I take targeted supplements.I have had no signs of my RA for years now :>)Trishhello_its_trish@...-------------------------------------- From: gloriarex@...Subject: special dietsI was wondering if anyone is trying anything specialwith 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 monthsnow. Things have improved, but it may just be all the meds andsupplements kicking in. I did try an experiment yesterday - I ate chicken burgerwith a whole wheat bun, and some blueberries. Maybe a bite of a cookie. Laterthat night I noticed a definite stiffening in my right hand and this morningI felt worse than I have in a few days.anyway, thought I would pass that on. I'd beinterested to hear if anyone else is doing anything diet wise to try and controlthe symptoms.gloria__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi Ruth, This is what I do for my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Drink a gallon of filtered water a day. Do not eat refined sugar. Including cake mixes and biscuit mixes. When they say sugar as an ingred. its refined sugar. (Sugar builds up in your system and causes pain and swelling) I eat Raw sugar only and then just as little as possible. Do not eat or use bleached flour. Use unbleached flour and stay away from white bread and white biscuits because they use bleached flour. Do not eat nutrasweet of any kind. This also builds up in your system and can cause many problems. No Chocolate or Caffiene.....oh my that causes pain! Exercise - on alternating days I walk 2 miles. (when I can) Exercise - On alternating days I work with lite hand weights (when I can) I also take targeted supplements....let me know if you want that inf. too.
