Sure I’ll ask her for more specific info and the best links as I don’t want to send you anything that’s not your right. I’ll also ask her to check the below in case I don’t have it right (she’s the expert).
 

Everyone is different so there isn’t a blanket solution but for her she’s found she reacts with most dairy (apart from feta which is fermented) as it’s the casein that’s the issue. She avoids nightshade vegetables most of the time, processed foods and a lot of carbs like pasta, bread etc. She also soaks lentils overnight to remove the pectins, in general She tries to eat well and organic where it matters.
 

Weirdly she was a pescatarian for 16 years but around 2 years ago started eating organic meat again after she got Lyme Disease - honestly she has the worst luck but that seems to have helped with her RA.
 

she has some recipes and more info on her website (mods - if this breaks any rules please remove it and I can ping a link via PM to those that ask).

shes actually doing a series of talks for NRAS (the rheumatoid arthritis charity) on nutrition and RA. It is a paid for unfortunately (£30) but I can find some info when she’s back from work later.

Also while organic is good not every thing has to be this list is updated each year but a handy guide as it lists those that should defo be organic and those it doesn’t really matter.

Hope this helps and I’ll add anything she suggests to this thread.

 

edit - On the exercise front she goes low impact but the main thing is to keep moving and try and keep stress down as that’s a big trigger for her. 

That's great, thanks. I'm doing pretty similar to that as it is- I also have IBS from time to time, which seems to be triggered by bread, rice and things like onions or peppers- but it could be useful for my sister as I don't think she's particularly changed her diet.

Yeah no worries she actually has quite a few IBS clients too, so will ask her about that too.

Got to love this place.

 

A thread on stunners that now look like Peter Beardsley has taken a completely different turn. Not that I'm complaining.

At least there's more masturbation potential in the last page or so.

Definitely mate. The thought of you pebble dashing the bog is very erotic.

It's definitely appropriate, given what a shitty idea for a thread this is. Proper Daily Mail.

I knew a girl with  Rheumatoid Arthritis. She had it in her feet, ankles, knees, hands, you name it, and she was on steroids.

The poor girl was in constant pain and the weight gain caused by the steroids made her mobility suffer further.

 

Other medication, mainly painkillers over 25 or so years fucked her organs and ended up killing her at 55.

Really sad, she was a lovely woman.

 

It's a horrible thing Rheumatoid Arthritis, it's enough to age anyone.

 

My sister has both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis,and a slipped disc of late to boot. She is only 51 too. She has taken steroids on and off for years but has never been thinner.

It's weird the way people react differently. I was on Chemo 20 years ago and they always have me an intravenous bag of steroids first, my weight ballooned. Another lad was having the same treatment as me was like a beanpole and made no difference.

I used to tell my late Dad not to just accept whatever prescription the Doctor gave him if it made him feel bad. You have to try stuff until it suits your own body make up as we are not all the same.

so I actually got all of that right so I guess it shows I listen. In terms of diets everyone is different and so there isn’t one that works for all, but she suggested reading up on auto immune paleo diet as there’s plenty of info and recipes online that could be useful. 
 

there’s also a lot of info on supplements out there but they do have interactions with any other medication you may be on so always good to speak to a specialist on what would work for you.
