I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis this past May. I could hardly walk, I couldn’t use my hands to simply open a bottle of water. My inflammation was unreal! I have a wonderful natural health dr. I did not want to be put on steroids and at the time it was a six month wait to see a Rheumatologist. I take supplements, vitamins and immediately went on the AIP diet from Cleveland Clinic! I had acupuncture on my knees and hands! What a miracle that was for me! I am gluten free, sugar free, dairy free! I am doing so much better! I am 74 and watch my two young grandchildren. I lost 50 lbs and feel so much better. I made my mind up to just get used to eating healthier! It works. I am a bread lover and that was hard to give up, but my dr told me if I was really craving it I could try fresh sourdough bread! I did and no problems! There are gluten free recipes for sourdough and more and more people are baking it at home. That is my next goal….. to bake my own! I hope you are feeling better Dennis. I understand what you were going through!
