Yes, I went on a vegan diet strictly when my Rheumatologist diagnosed me with RA. I now follow Dr John Mc Dougalls starch plant based diet which is vegies n fruit n lentils, n nuts. I lost weight, joint pain left n I went into remission. I was having difficuly walking, pain clinbing stairs. Within 3 months of going vegan I got rid of all my joint supports, could run n climg stairs with no stiffness or pain. My ESR went from 56 to 18 in 3 months of going vegan, C Reactive Protein went from 24 to 16 n is now reduced after a year to 9,5 which is almost 8 which is normal, n my Rheumatoid Factor has disappeared. I am very healthy now, n can walk 2 km in one attempt, n swim 10 laps in the pool. My tummy problems, allergies m constipation are gone. I am hardly ever sick now, n at 55 years old am healthy n happy. My hubby is glad too cos he doesnt have to do all the jobs now that I can do again, plus I dont complain all the time re the pain n stiffness in my joints. N I dont walk around like an 80 year old in need of a walking frame anymore regards I found out about the vegan starch plant based diet on Doctor John McDougalls website n I highly recommend a vegan diet to recover from the symptoms of RA
