Through cutting out both gluten and dairy products, I have noticed a reduction in pain and my health has improved. Gluten intolerance is an auto-immune disease, as well as arthritis which is why I truly believe they are connected in some way.
I try to eat a paleo based diet, a lot of protein, fruit and vegetables. Although I have moments of weakness and do delve into sugary sweets and chocolate, but you have to sometimes.
I also do quite a bit of weight training which builds up the strength in both my muscles and joints. I believe that weight training is more useful than most cardio exercises. As well as burning fat you are also shaping your body.
I find it rewarding that each day through this new healthy lifestyle, I am slowly curing myself of arthritic joint pain.
My knowledge is purely on my experience and what works for my health and body.
I also read a lot of online blogs and listen to podcasts. The best blog so far I have found, www.mindbodygreen.com. It is a great source packed with lots of amazing information.
I would like to state that I am not a nutritionist or a doctor, nor am I qualified in anything medical. This is a diet that works for me. It does not mean it will work for everybody, (or even anyone else.)
I am purely here to show a different take on how to deal with RA and a gluten intolerance through the use of 'food-medicine'.
