Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I have completely changed my diet. Not just because of JRA but I also have GERD (acid reflux). I only drink water and every once in awhile I'll have some juice but not often. I don't eat fast food or incredibly fatty foods or tons of sugar. Mostly fish, chicken, or these soy products that taste like meat but its not (they are suprising really yummy), and a lot of vegatables and salads. I have yet to see a change in either of my disease.. but I did lose 10 lbs.. of course that was 10 lbs I wasn't suppose to lose.. LoL I think I'm one of the only people who doesn't like losing weight.. It was funny I was at my rheumis on Friday and she was laughing at me saying I'm in my first year of college most people gain weight not lose it.. Oh well I've never been normal. The diet does help with energy levels a bit.. but that is the extent to which it helps.. (poly JRA and spondy, 19) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
