Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi all, I am on day 6 of an elimination diet. Tough! New Dr. I saw last week thinks that my RA is linked to some intestinal problems and possible food allergies. I know many of you have changed your diet or maybe tried the elimination diet at one point or another. I would love to hear how your journey was with this. Successful? Is there a possibility of a herx with this? I guess I am just looking to connect with others who might have tried this... I have yet to start the antibiotics because I want to get my intestinal issues either taken care of or at least diagnosed before wrecking them even more with antibiotics. I am also nursing my new baby and can't take antibiotics. By the way, have any of you had your appendix out? I did when I was five, and my Dr. says there is definitely a link between that and my intestinal problems. Your appendix apparently is responsible for producing all the good bacteria for your gut flora. It was a light bulb moment for me when he said that.
