I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF SOMEONE GOT RID OF RHUMATHOID ARTHRITIS SINCE GOING ON GLUTEN FREE DIET. I MEAN COMPLETELY HEAL, NO SYMPTOMS ANYMORE. I AM ASKING THIS QUESTION BECAUSE MY BOSS HAVE THAT DISEASE AND MY PHARMACIST TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN INCURABLE ILLNESS.

SOUNDS LIKE DEJA VU HEY...

SO IF SOMEONE CAN TESTIMONY HE COMPLETELY HEAL HIS ARTHRITIS WITH gluten-free DIET, MAY BE IT COULD CONVINCED HER TO GO ON THIS DIET.

I KNOW THAT THERE IS A LINK BETWEEN GLUTEN AND RHMATHOID ARTHRITIS LIKE OTHER DISEASE BUT IS IT CURABLE?

TANK YOU FOR ANY ANSWER OR TESTIMONY.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. It is not curable by any special diet. Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease will sometimes kick it into gear, but it does not cause it. Special diets can alleviate the symptoms, but will not cure it.

Dr. Mercola has had success with RA when people have gone on the diet he recommends. You can get to his free newsletter that talks about it at www.mercola.com In the search box typr in Rheumatoid arthritis and you will get a lot of links to articles about it. It can for sure be helped by diet.

Hope this helps,

Completely heal, no, I don't think so. Reforming bone and cartilage that has been broken down by the immune system is nothing at all like reforming damaged villi in a part of the body that sees more repair work naturally. It would make sense, to me, however, that going on a gluten-free diet (IF you are also gluten intolerant) could help if your body is reacting to gluten with an exagerrated immune response (hence inflammation and the rest of the chemicals that go with it) throughout your entire system. Reducing that immune response would reduce the activity of the RA. (Many RA type drugs suppress the immune system.) Whether that would get you into remission, prevent any worsening, or cause actual symptom improvement probably depends on the person.

(I'm no expert here, this is just an educated guess. :-) )

I WANTED TO SAY TANK YOU FOR THOSES WHO ANSWERD ME. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT SAYING THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSES 2 DISEASES. I'VE JUST FOUND SOMETHING PRETTY INTERESTING ABOUT IT. IT TALK'S ABOUT CELIAC DISEASE, RHEUMATHOID ARTHRITIS AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)...THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.

One note- I have a cousin with RA and she (with the help of her doctor) has been able to control it mostly through diet and exercise, BUT this is a very special process.. and if she misses a single workout she is set back weeks before she can regain the pain free state.

      Still unsure.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works...

      @knitty kitty Did they give you medication for the Thiamine? I have never heard of that and have never related to symptoms more. My energy is always SO low. Zero drive to get anything done or work out. I used to love being on the go and being active. I am heading to the doctor next week so I will make sure to bring this up! Thank you so much!

      @trents I have had another scope done since being diagnosed. The only thing they told me at that time was my body seems to be healing very well and to continue what I was doing. At that time, I had only been diagnosed 2 years so it may be a possibility that it was healing then but not now maybe. I think you're right that it's about time one was done! I will be bringing that up to my doctor at my apt. next week. Thank you for the suggestions with food. I have tried diary so far. Seems to not be the issue (luckily!). Will have to try the others!

      Thank you so much for the advice, Scott. I am going back to the doctors next week to get more blood work done. The only thing they recommended me to take so far has been two shots of liquid iron in the morning to keep my iron levels high. What supplements or vitamins have worked for you? I never physically feel my celiac symptoms, unless I got cross contamination which I feel has only happened a handful of times in the last four years. When I eat it feels so different than my celiac. Which makes me wonder if it is another food like you suggested. Has anyone ever had issues with meat? I feel like I can snack and snack until it is a full meal, usually including meat. Could that be an allergy or...
