For patients with rheumatoid arthritis, I have designed a food pyramid that includes lifestyle changes like exercise, mindfulness and sleep recommendations to help you decrease inflammation and the need to use more medication.

I’ve been gluten free for over 20 years as I have an anaphylactic allergic reaction to all gluten. I break out in hives head to toes and my daughter throws up. At 64 I just started noticing arthritis in my hands. I am going to work on doing everything I can to allow my body to be as healthy as I can be 🙏

My doctor recommended to take Vit. D3 -10,000iu per day to lessen the pain and also to boost immune system, with K2.The job of K2 is to prevent calcified of calcium into the bone or joints

[@LoveMusic-pd5iz]

Did your doctor tell you that vitamin D is a hormone? Did he mention that it needs to be taken with food, preferably with good fats like olive or avodado oil, avocados, nuts & seeds maybe even a a little quality cheese? I don't know if this is proven, but many also recommend taking vitamin D in the morning.

I'm thank you doc all your videos i have rheumatoid

[@marisapaola9010]

I have RA, sjogrens syndrome, vasculitis, coeliac disease, fatty liver (my darling mother passed away from this, and her sister). High blood pressure. i crave cheese, my mouth drools so much I can't sleep and have to find an all night store. I take calcium and 5,000 of vit d, but still am osteopenia. Ironically sat fats make my Ra worse, its a vicious circle. On methotrexate, arava and have developed a balance problem and double vision so bad people think I'm drunk. Ive had to stop driving, my rheumatologist said she doesn't know what's going on, but saw your post on SS affecting the brain, I'm shocked.

[@rheumatologistoncall]

Discuss that with your rheumatologist. Thank you for watching

Keto will fox all of this. You CAN reverse fatty liver disease, but if not you can develope cirrhosis even though you may not consume alcohol.

[@melenelewis2955]

You haven't mentioned milk or honey .......does this mean that they should not be consumed? I find that I am totally unable to eat chicken as I suffer severe pain afterwards however I am able to consume red meat without having any pain afterwards......it is most confusing as all healthy diets recommend chicken and discourage use of red meat. I was diagnosed with. Primary sjorgrens in 1998.

[@rheumatologistoncall]

I understand, there is a lot of debate about milk, but yogurt is phenomenal Honey is ok in moderate quantity

[@melenelewis2955]

Thank you

[@LoveMusic-pd5iz]

I'm not saying do this or don't do this...just you may find... I found out that I can eat organic, air chilled chicken occasionally and organic grass fed beef VERY occasionally. I experimented with trying these versions of meat both when I was feeling well and when I was not...and repeating several times. Perhaps these types of experiments could help you navigate through all the many suggestions out there. And, for me, most important is to not listen to random non-professionals and to check the source of information. People representing large companies with a heavy profit agenda, or people spouting "facts" while trying to sell a product - forget it! People like Dr Girnita, YES!

I stopped eating grains, sugar, plants. Greens, beets have oxolates that cause inflamation. I was eating a low fat, heavy plant based diet and had a fatty liver, prediabetes, chronic hives and my joints were swollen and sore. Carnivore has stopped that and my doc said my markers look good. I take vitamin d, methotrexate and plaquenil but I have not used the methotrexate for 3 weeks because I had a cold. Why pay for a meal plan that is going to keep you hurting. Look up carnivore docs and see how easy it is.
