Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hi Adrienne - a few months ago I posted some information on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by diet - this posting did not seem to elicit much response. To reiterate - Dr. Gail Darlington, Rheumatologist at Epsom General Hospital in England published a book detailing her research into the effect of diet on arthritis. She was somewhat sceptical when she started her research but her conclusion was that at least one third of arthritis is diet related. I have had rheumatoid arthritis for a number of years & found (when desperate that by following a low fat vegetarian diet & excluding gluten & dairy) whether by coincidence or not, my inflamation levels decreased dramatically & over a period of time I have been able to stop all medication. I still have RA but as numerous articles on the internet indicate I have found personally that this diet has had a dramatic effect for me. I am somewhat curious as to why so many do not want to go down this road. Perhaps it is the exhaustion that the disease brings that is the reason but it really is not as drastic as it sounds & the results are certainly worth it. Please give it a try.
