While there isn't a widely known app specifically for RA food choices, keeping a food diary is highly recommended to identify your personal trigger foods. Many people with RA have found that tracking their food intake and symptoms helps them identify which foods cause flares.
Here are some general guidelines for foods to consider tracking:
• Foods that may trigger inflammation: processed foods, sugar, certain dairy products
• Foods that may help reduce inflammation: whole foods, fruits (especially berries), vegetables, lean proteins
• Pay attention to your body's response to different ingredients and preservatives One effective strategy is to start a basic food journal where you note what you eat and any symptoms that follow. This can be done in any note-taking app or paper journal. Many myRAteam members report this method as being a "game-changer" in identifying their personal trigger foods and maintaining a healthy weight.
