Paleo Diet

this was recommended to me. I started 2 months ago and feel great, however, I still experience flares. I have read alot about legumes which is not on the Paleo diet, as anti-inflamatory. does anyone have comments on this or has anyone tries this diet?

    Unfortunately, there is not particular diet that has been scientifically proven to improve the symptoms of RA. However, anecdotally I have heard of people having success with various approaches. So it may be worth a try! But it's always important to make sure you are still under the care of a rheumatologist to protect against long-term, permanent joint damage.

    Best of luck,
