Hi, I was just diagnosed with RA, and was wondering if it would help if I was on a gluten free diet?
Many people with rheumatoid arthritis do find that a gluten free diet is helpful. RA is an auto-immune disorder, and if you can just find the trigger, you will be free of symptoms so long as you stay away from the food/s concerned.
Doing exercises is obviously impossible if your joints are bad. And sfaik exercise has never been seriously advocated as a treatment for this condition.
I myself get joint pains when I eat gluten. I used to take MSM with reasonable results, but now that I am gluten free I don’t seem to have any problems unless I slip up with the diet.
