Has anyone switched to GF diet? What were your experiences? I’m SO ready to feel better and if this can really help ease symptoms/inflammation I’M ALL FOR IT! Thanks in advance ☺️

I am gluten free, dairy free, no sugar, and less red meat, it has made a huge difference. When I was in a huge flair up ( couldn't lift a cup) I started the diet plan and it totally worked. I add blueberries (antioxidants) ginger, tumeric oil. In order to not feel deprived once I'm feeling better I can cheat occasionally . Once you start feeling better eating ice cream or pasta isn't worth the pain later! good luck!

Hi. I did what so many others did. Exercised....pushed on. I know its wasn't easy at first!!
Changed my diet for 1 full year. No eggs, dairy, gluten, sugar, caffeine.
I dont eat pork or read meats. Haven't for 35 years. After 1 year gradually added things back in to see how I felt. I still feel better only having those things occasionally. I highly recommend looking at your diet! It's so worth it. It cant hurt doing a food elimination. Give your body time to clean itself out. For me I don't take medication or suffer anymore but my heart goes out to all that do!!! Its horribly painful!! I will continue doing want I'm doing since it's working for me. Hope ya find what really works well for ya's. Never give up hope! Hugs!

I have real limit my intake on gluten, dairy and found a big improvement. I make a vegan protein shake with soya milk with honey, coconut oil, chai seeds, a banana, frozen mango and pineapple. I used milk for 4 days straight instead of soya and felt yucky. I'm eating more veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots for protein I've eliminated red meat and have been sticking to chicken, pork and fish. I also use cbd oil and on 2 different meds for my RA and have noticed a difference. I hope some of these suggestions this will be helpful.
