Can you tell us if they're have been any advances in determining the degree that diet has to do with RA and the severity of symptoms??? I think most of us with RA, can claim that symptoms worsen after ingestion of certain foods. There is much literature out there concerning "leaky gut" syndrome and also that a gluten free diet has been shown to be beneficial for some RA sufferers. There is also more and more information concerning lectins which makes a lot of sense when reading about it. Could you share with us what your experience and feelings are about these aspects of controlling RA symptoms???
