controlling RA through diet

[Guest guest]

Hi just thought I would check in to let you all know I have been home for one

month now and been able to keep my RA under control with diet and no

medication. Its a big change in the way I was use to eating but its getting

easier.

and to be pain free I keep asking my husband do you know how good it feels to

feel good. He has been so good and understanding through all this. I would have

never made it through what I call my living hell without him when I couldn't

walk he was there to lean on. when I couldn't lift the blanket to cover myself

in bed he pulled the blankets over me he just knew without me having to ask

and that meant so much. We have been married 39 years Im 64 and he is 61 I must

have raised him right LOL. I have a friend that has RA as well but is not

willing to give up certain foods to feel better she is on several different

medications but says she always has a degree of pain daily. I was telling her

how I

ate affeer being asked and her remark was ow my I cannot imagine never having

biscuit and gravy again no I could not do that. let me get off my soap box I

guess I just want everyone to know there is a way to be pain free without all

the dangerous medications. Blessings and Love to All

Hi, I am new to the list. I've been diagnosed *maybe* RA

(seronegative). I'd love to hear more about your diet, if you don't

mind sharing.

HI sorry it took so long to return your email the diet you have to follow is

a plant base diet its steamed veg. fresh salads and fresh fruit, beans

grains, sweet potatoes baked. brown rice its totally different from what I was

use

to eating (fast food junkie) No meat of any kind no dairy of any kind no oil no

salt no processed food of any kind drink only distilled water or fresh

squeezed juice no coffee no soda I learned to use fresh or dried herbs to flavor

with. No night shade veg.which are white potatoes, bell peppers red, green or

yellow no tomatoes. or eggplant. The more raw the better. but as time goes by

you

can add one thing at a time to your diet wait 3 days if you have no reactions

then you can have that like I have been able to add white potatoes, and

tomatoes back to my diet. If you like it you can have tofu and soy meat products

in

moderation have not tried them. The way the center I went to wants you to eat

is make a large salad lunch and dinner they say 1 lb. or more of salad daily

then a big plate of steam veg. then if you have room your starch also no corn

no citrus no butter if interested there were a couple of books they

recommend Also just type in vegan recipes in search there are tons of

information on

the Internet the hard part for me was changing my eating but belive me it

was worth it. and the dr. also said that in time I might even beable to have

meat a couple times a week but first you need to get Ra under control. I still

have some stiffness in my hands sometimes but there a big difference between

stiffness and pain and not being able to bend your fingers my fingers would get

so swollen I would think they would burst. If you decide to try this way of

eating do not quite your med. as time goes by your blood work will improve and

your doc. will adjust your med. Also I did a water fast to cleanse my body but

they say the diet will still work without doing the water fast just take

longer.and they say it will work for everyone you just have to be patient and

focus

on what you can have and not what you cant have (easier said than done) . Good

Luck if you decide to try this also if you have questions I will try to help.

Im still learning .It can not hurt you. you are still eating real food just

cutting out the things that are hurting you. and you get plenty of protein

throgh yor dark green veg. and beans and grains and brown rice.
