I am 50. I was diagnosed with RA about 8 years ago. I drink a gallon of water every day, I try to exercise for at least 30 minutes daily, majority of my diet is plant based, and I have eliminated ALL of the refined junk I was addicted to (sugar) for many years. I no longer have any joint pain. I use to ache so badly all over my body. Again... As long as I maintain the disciplines listed above I am totally pain free. I just had my annual well women exam. My RA number was 41.7 (from my labs) when I was initially diagnosed almost 8 years ago my RA number was 13. However even with the higher number I do not have any more joint pain due to a major life style change. I refused all meds when I was diagnosed. My Rheumatologist was extremely aggressive in her pursuit to get me on a cocktail of meds. But I've never taken any of the RA drugs. God bless you all as you seek out the best options for your unique needs. As we all know there isn't a 'one size fits all' remedy. Take care🙏🏽

I am envious of your success. I've had RA for 20+ years, and have taken various medications over the years, but currently my most recent medicine has stopped working, so am trying to figure out what to do. Two years ago, I did most of the things that you wrote: exercise 30-60 minutes a day, eliminate almost all processed foods and refined sugars. Almost no carbs and certainly no grains or processed foods. But in my case, my current flare is as bad as ever with my CRP through the roof. I'm not going to give up on this diet and exercise, but for me personally, it will be something I do in addition to meds rather than in place of it. I hope you continue to be symptom-free!

I got RA, as a result of Lyme Disease, when I was 27 years old. My mother encouraged me to do a 2 week detox (The Master Cleanse). I did it and also decided to go fully vegan. The RA went fully into remission in less than a year and stayed gone for about 25+ years after, even though I went back to *eating flesh after about 3 and a half years (*I didn't eat red meat). Sadly, I got bitten by cow tick on a visit to the Caribbean, in 2020, and, BOOM, just like that it came back! Now I'm beginning to have disfigurement in my fingers. The pain is chronic, the flare-ups awful. It's more challenging for me to go fully vegan now. I did try and saw improvements, but haven't been disciplined enough to stay vegan, even though I'm eating mostly plant-based. I avoid the nightshades (Irish potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, etc.,) like the plague, even though I love them. They are good for you but not when this disease is present. They aggravate it. I've also eliminated regular whole wheat bread; I use Ezekiel Bread instead. Also, I find using plain cocoa/cacao powder in plant-based milks (soy-free), with pure maple syrup, gives me my 'chocolate' and sugar fix without any ill-effect. I should say that I had no joint disfigurement prior to the diet (those 25+ years ago); only they were swollen, warm, and EXTREMELY painful. I could barely walk. Because I did the detox first, it eliminated my cravings, which made it easier. Also I was terrified of the pain. I'd pretty much try anything at the time.😄 (Also, I had a chocolate addiction).
I am currently going through a flare right now. Shoulders, toe, knee, inflammation all over areas of joints
In traditional Chinese medicine, mushrooms, asparagus, and cauliflower, and more than a glass of soy milk (made the Chinese way, more watery than Silk's soy milk), are considered trigger foods for gout and arthritis. Just FYI. I hope you will test these items also.
I have RA (23 years). The keto diet saved me. 4 years on it now. Lost a bunch of weight (100 lbs) and now feel fantastic. My rheumatologist is amazed. I take weekly injection of methotrexate and a biological shot plus folic acid. That’s it.
Thank you Dr Hana. This is very useful
I tried this it didn't work for me it helped a little, but not enough. So I decided to try a strict Carnivore diet. Within 3 weeks, all the pain was gone. It's been 2 years with no methotrexate no medications at all. I feel better now than I have ever felt.

Try the AIP diet plan. You start by eliminating all potential foodstuffs which may irritate the gut. Then (if your symptoms improve in next 6-8 weeks or sooner) you can slowly start to reintroduce various foodstuffs. With an autoimmune disease, your body is reacting to something that you ingest. Avoid all processed foods simply because you cannot tell what is in them.

Wouldn’t these individual foods be more related to gut impermeability? If you have leaky gut, you will react to foods that aren’t actually a problem for you… right? I think gut health is a big miss in this study.
@steve6375
Жыл бұрын
The foods that are eliminated are the ones that may cause a leaky gut in some people - that's the whole point. It may not be that the foods cause an immune reaction, it may be that the foods cause a leaky gut which then allows 'stuff' to pass through the gut lining and produces an immune response. It may also be that some foods are digested by your gut bacteria which then excrete substances which irritate your gut. In the Mediterranean, the old cooks used to remove the skin and seeds from tomatoes and cucumbers and would make bread using sourdough so that the gluten is fully destroyed by the bacteria. These days we just make bubbles in gluten-enriched bread using pure yeast for 30 minutes and then we eat raw gluten. Nature has put toxic chemicals in seeds to prevent animals and insects from eating them or chewing them. Grains are not well tolerated by animals either.
This is great did they also look at eliminating oils known to be inflammatory, and adding omega 3 in form of flax or chia, known to be anti inflammatory ?

I'm bewildered, in the way, that half of what I read and with the videos I've watched regarding diet and rheumatory arthritis, some swear by vegan type diet approach, while others swear by a meat only regimen. Some are just regular people and some are doctors. So I don't know what to think. I know, that for me, vegetables just don't seem to fair well with my gut, whether it be cooked vegetables or a tossed salad.

Then (if your symptoms improve in next 6-8 weeks or sooner) you can slowly start to reintroduce various foodstuffs. With an autoimmune disease, your body is reacting to something that you ingest. In my case it was grains (wheat,barley,rye,oats, flour, brewers yeast, beer, bread, pasta, etc.). Some people have an intolerance to cows milk, it just depends on what your immune system has become sensitive too and the AIP plan will help you find out.

Yeah, as the other commenter said, try an elimination diet The thing is: an all meat diet would probably work, but it’s not sustainable for a majority of people (it’s boring af), it’s not ecological, it’s expensive and the animals suffer… I think of it as an AIP for people that aren’t very bright and/or lazy folks 🤷♀️ An elimination diet should be TEMPORARY, as she said in the video: 3 weeks. You can do anything for 3 weeks. The point of it is to see what your triggers are. Eating only meat removes beneficial gut bacteria, increases heart disease and increases cancer and diabetes risks by quite a bit. Just try an AIP, then slowly (one food at a time) add in restricted foods, and keep notes. It’ll take a few months of experimenting, but it’ll be worth it and you’re not restricted to only meat for the rest of your life
Have you been able to follow any of the subjects long enough that their bodies actually got healthy away from the animals and dairy and processed foods? Curious whether the negative reaction from an apple or corn would stop once their microbiomes had a proper chance to recover from all that damage. Also Dr. Brooke Goldner has been helping heal autoimmune with lots of greens & flax or chia for many years now, including sjogrens & RA

However, you also may have a damaged gut lining and this may cause poor nutrient absorption, so you may also need to take multivitamins, iron, D3, K2 and B12 plus omega-3 supplements (but be careful to check what filler substances they use - e.g. no wheat/grain-based fillers, etc.). re. alcohol, I have found it best to avoid grain-based drink (beer, whiskey, etc.) and white wine (sinus issues) and I just stick to one glass of red wine. It's not really about eating stuff that is good for you, it's about avoiding any stuff which is bad for you.

@@ToriKlassen1 Of course I am replying because I care! AI is an autoimmune disease. Your body is producing autoantibodies which are caused by an antigen which is causing an immune response. The problem is often caused by what you eat/drink/contact that causes this immune response. e.g. If I am fed meals which have been laced with arsenic, no amount of tofu is going to cure that! I am not saying don't eat tofu, I am saying don't eat 'arsenic'. Some food(s) may be your 'arsenic' and you won't find out unless you exclude them from your diet in a carefully controlled, scientific way. Apologies if you have already been down this route. I had RA for over 60 years from age of 5. I found out that grains cause flare ups and my joint pain (in my specific case).

It's not rocket science it's trial and error. Vegans can be unhealthy too, you're right it's no miracle cure but finding what triggers you is key. It's not A diet that is causing symptoms it's YOUR diet. Steve was genuinely trying to help you.
Not all vegan food is healthy so it’s confusing as vegans can drink certain alcohols, have sugar and there are some questionable processed vegan foods eg. meat alternatives… I thought this was a good diet for RA: organic chicken, fish, eggs, vegetables, beans, legumes, fruit, nuts, olive oil and eliminating all processed foods like sugar, white bread, white pasta, white rice, cakes, biscuits, alcohol (the occasional one glass wine with food, small coffee, sheep and goat cheeses, ricotta, dark chocolate, seeded sourdough bread - brown, red, black and wild rice - spelt and chickpea pasta all ok in moderation) I was recently diagnosed so in the early stages and want to be healthy and get it right.
I realize not all the foods listed are eliminated permanently, but during the elimination phase you wouldn't be able to follow any of the plant based doctors' diets! Soy, chickpeas, onions, sweet potatoes, oats...

Why avoid sour food? I actually read that fermented foods, like Kimchi and yogurt are anti-inflammatory.
I really hate when people say plant based is the only way 😳

It isn't. I eliminated most of my chronic joint pain just by cutting wheat (gluten?) from my diet.

@@minafong5888 Try the AIP diet plan. You start by eliminating all potential foodstuffs which may irritate the gut. Then (if your symptoms improve in next 6-8 weeks or sooner) you can slowly start to reintroduce various foodstuffs. With an autoimmune disease, your body is reacting to something that you ingest.
Carnivore and fasting are the only super successful protocols.

Yes, it does. But I would recommend Autoimme Paleo. That is what put my autoimmune disease into remission after 30 of suffering.
I would be interested in knowing which foods caused the highest number of flare ups?
