This will tell you evidence based research on how diet impacts your RA activity. Please remember there are no RA magic healthy foods or bad foods lists, it just depends on what YOUR specific immune system & gut biome has decided to blackmark or anoint.

Take me for example, I was off MTX & symptom free as verified by the hospital tests, but bizarrely that was only possible if I avoided most fruit, sandwich meat, dairy, poultry, salmon & cod, they all triggered flares.

BUT!!! McDonald’s Big Macs we’re ok, no flares.

You will have to find your own “safe list”, and the podcast tells you about the research that tells you how patients did it, just like me. Do not assume just because it’s listed as healthy in a book or everyone says so, it will be healthy for you. Baked beans gave me almighty flares, even on MTX, as did supposed recovery foods like Complan, which before RA I absolutely loved.

But please get your RA under control with meds before trying the dietary support. It’s like having a deep cut, you need proper conventional med care like stitches for a cut to start, but you use the diet to help the recovery. Hopefully it helps.
