Has Anyone Tried Modifying Their Diet To Reduce Their RA Symptoms? And Has It Worked For Them?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭

there is a lot of information online (functional medicine) saying that certain foods i.e. gluten and lactose can be triggers to some people and cutting these out of your diet can be beneficial to reduce symptoms. has anyone tried this with any luck?
I've found that sugar tends to be a trigger for me... (I am not diabetic/pre-diabetic)

I cannot eat pork. It is my trigger. I haven't kept a diary like I should have. I have no issues with tomatoes...seafood or anything else right now. Doctor told me I have to be extra careful because I have 3 other autoimmune disorders.
Keep a diary

There's some YouTube videos by this lady Lucy Piper , check it out if anyone's interested. Anyway she talks about how it varies from person to person but usually there is a good trigger ( as well as other triggers ) so it might not be gluten but be something else ?...

Ive tried it all as well. Gluten free sugar free and soda and sweetener free nightshade free will help some but not sure it helps RA. But the healthier you are the better for fighting disease. Maybe do a food allergy test and avoid those foods. 🤗

I’ve been trying gluten and dairy free but haven’t noticed a difference and I’ve been doing this for over 3 months. I’m also trying turmeric it’s supposed to help reduce inflammation
