My RA was so bad I was glued to my bed. Fast forward 3 years later, most of my calories come from fruits & tender leafy greens. I usually still have cooked food but always do best when my diet is raw. Most of what I eat now is Avocado, lemon, cucumber, dates, Blueberries (yum), bananas (ripe only). Every cooked food increases my inflammation, even if it is just a little. Water fasting helped me realize at what point various items were doing so. The top triggers of severe inflammation are nightshades (tomato, potato, peppers except black pepper), potassium sorbate (preservative), quinoa and eating soy had given me temporary inflammatory bowel syndrome. My cooked food consists mainly of brown rice and I do Not eat broccoli, cauliflower, beans, nut seeds, white rice, asparagus, etc. I'm finally healthy enough to go run 😀
