Thank you so much Dr. Diana great information! I’ve been able to control my RA for 20 years by eliminating many foods. Recently I had the worst flare up of my life! After I had to take two very strong antibiotics for a bowel infection. But the flare up wouldn’t go away. I tried a plant based only diet but got very very weak! So I added chicken breast and fish and felt much better. But still I was having a flare up. Avoiding sugar, gluten, dairy, Beef and all the rest that usually give me more inflammation and pain. Then someone’s comment on a video when I was doing research solved the mystery- it was my favorite Collagen Supplement from Vital Proteins made from Beef! I didn’t realize how strict I had to be about having absolutely NO BEEF PROTEIN! Wow big break through for me when I stopped the beef collagen the pain and inflammation started going away! You have great videos I have been watching many of them and you always have so many helpful facts. I also wanted to mention that over the years I’ve noticed when I’m gaining weight I have lots of pain and when I’m losing weight, no matter the diet, there’s no pain or very little pain. So I always take that into the equation when I’m trying to figure out what caused a flare up. And when I’m eating healthy and staying at a low weight no pain. 😊

I have to cut back on many foods to control my rheumatoid arthritis. Sugar cravings, meats, snacks etc. I know I can do it including exercising more. Thanks 😊

I'm suffering over here. This rheumatoid arthritis is killing me

And when I’m eating healthy and staying at a low weight no pain. 😊 I also started some Amino Acids that are doing wonders for my RA, nerve pain and digestive issues! Taurine, Glycine and NAC, and Citrulline. They heal and protect your whole body. If you have more to heal like autoimmune conditions then the extra Amino Acids are very much needed!

I am from india 28yrs old last 6yrs having pain.. Now i m RA positve.. Its very painful.. Thanq mam for making wonderful video

The most informative video I have seen. Clear precise and left me in no doubt what I can and can’t eat. Excellent!! Thank you.

Thanks for the great information. All I drink now is water & decaf tea, once in a while almond or cashew milk.

I wish my rheumatologist had told me all this when i was diagnosed with Sjogrens almost 10 years ago. A friend recommended a holistic doctor thst got me on the right track. The diet changes and supplements have saved my life. I just recovered from Spinal Meningitis. The immunosuppressant drug Arava that I was taking, lowered my immunity so much that I could not fight off a head cold. Head cold turned into Spinal Meningitis. Today the rheumatologist told me that I didn't have to take the Arava anymore. My inflammation,CRP is in normal range, 1. 🎉 Diet changes, no gluten, sugar, diary...and supplements like fish oil, tumeric and ginger saved my life.

Are nuts like walnuts, almonds, cashews ok? What about dried fruits like mangos, cranberries, pineapple?

Hi mam My mother wrist has slit back spots is it normal for rheumatoid Though she is not completely diagonosed but is symptomatic for many years

Thank you, This was very educational for me. Rheumatoid Arthritis has been life changing for me. I know nothing about this disease and I have severe RA. So this really helps. Thank you.

Love from Assam💓💓💓 I'm a patient of RA and I greatly benefited from your videos

Very informative. I love the part where you talk about replacements and better food options. 🙂

I think it’s just best to shop Whole Foods meaning the outer perimeter in the grocery store. Being very selective on what is chosen.

Thank you Dr. Diana I am grateful for information about RA. Excellent madam❤ hopefully you get what you deserve and live a good life 🎉

So, basically, low-carb & keto diets are good for helping decrease inflammation. After starting keto, ALL of my MANY autoimmune diseases were almost non-existent. I highly recommend it!🙌🏼💯✅

Please can you be subtitling your comments? I really appreciate your efforts. I'm 37 with rheumatoid arthritis. But I believe listening to you will help me a lot. I also want to know if stress can contribute to my flares because I teach and go through a lot of stress.

Exceptional tips Dr Girnita! Thanks for you incredible content!

Thank you very much for advice. I was eating everything. And spending money every month to go to the dr Because of the joint pain
