I am 50. I was diagnosed with RA about 8 years ago. I drink a gallon of water every day, I try to exercise for at least 30 minutes daily, majority of my diet is plant based, and I have eliminated ALL of the refined junk I was addicted to (sugar) for many years. I no longer have any joint pain. I use to ache so badly all over my body. Again... As long as I maintain the disciplines listed above I am totally pain free. I just had my annual well women exam. My RA number was 41.7 (from my labs) when I was initially diagnosed almost 8 years ago my RA number was 13. However even with the higher number I do not have any more joint pain due to a major life style change. I refused all meds when I was diagnosed. My Rheumatologist was extremely aggressive in her pursuit to get me on a cocktail of meds. But I've never taken any of the RA drugs. God bless you all as you seek out the best options for your unique needs. As we all know there isn't a 'one size fits all' remedy. Take care🙏🏽
Good for you. I'm glad you were able to eliminate your symptoms without resorting to no more of those vegetables listed in Dr. Kahleova's presentation. Those are some of my favorite foods!!
I am envious of your success. I've had RA for 20+ years, and have taken various medications over the years, but currently my most recent medicine has stopped working, so am trying to figure out what to do. Two years ago, I did most of the things that you wrote: exercise 30-60 minutes a day, eliminate almost all processed foods and refined sugars. Almost no carbs and certainly no grains or processed foods. But in my case, my current flare is as bad as ever with my CRP through the roof. I'm not going to give up on this diet and exercise, but for me personally, it will be something I do in addition to meds rather than in place of it. I hope you continue to be symptom-free!
I got RA, as a result of Lyme Disease, when I was 27 years old. My mother encouraged me to do a 2 week detox (The Master Cleanse). I did it and also decided to go fully vegan. The RA went fully into remission in less than a year and stayed gone for about 25+ years after, even though I went back to *eating flesh after about 3 and a half years (*I didn't eat red meat). Sadly, I got bitten by cow tick on a visit to the Caribbean, in 2020, and, BOOM, just like that it came back! Now I'm beginning to have disfigurement in my fingers. The pain is chronic, the flare-ups awful. It's more challenging for me to go fully vegan now. I did try and saw improvements, but haven't been disciplined enough to stay vegan, even though I'm eating mostly plant-based. I avoid the nightshades (Irish potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, etc.,) like the plague, even though I love them. They are good for you but not when this disease is present. They aggravate it. I've also eliminated regular whole wheat bread; I use Ezekiel Bread instead. Also, I find using plain cocoa/cacao powder in plant-based milks (soy-free), with pure maple syrup, gives me my 'chocolate' and sugar fix without any ill-effect. I should say that I had no joint disfigurement prior to the diet (those 25+ years ago); only they were swollen, warm, and EXTREMELY painful. I could barely walk. Because I did the detox first, it eliminated my cravings, which made it easier. Also I was terrified of the pain. I'd pretty much try anything at the time.😄 (Also, I had a chocolate addiction).
Thank you thank you thank you! Am going through an extremely bad RA flare at the moment and am feeling desperately bad. Will be starting this protocol straight away tomorrow, elimination too, and I thank you both so much for understanding how absolutely awful this condition is. Wish my husband did! 😩 Keep up your amazing work. God bless you. 😊
I tried this it didn't work for me it helped a little, but not enough. So I decided to try a strict Carnivore diet. Within 3 weeks, all the pain was gone. It's been 2 years with no methotrexate no medications at all. I feel better now than I have ever felt.
My rheumatologist didn't suggest any dietary changes. It's 4 months since being diagnosed with RA, I also have inflammation of tendons in both shoulders. My family doctor suggested last week cutting out sugars, fruit, processed meat and pork, milk and derivatives and reducing carbs.
Try the AIP diet plan. You start by eliminating all potential foodstuffs which may irritate the gut. Then (if your symptoms improve in next 6-8 weeks or sooner) you can slowly start to reintroduce various foodstuffs. With an autoimmune disease, your body is reacting to something that you ingest. Avoid all processed foods simply because you cannot tell what is in them.
I went on Paddison programme...am on day 38..massive difference in my knees!! My energy is up too. Dr is spot on that everyone will experience different trigger foods...its all down to your existing microbiome.
Started with leg cramps every night for about 4 daysthen, plantar fasciitis plus pain all over my feet. Initially, I thought my back is out of alignment so a chiropractic adjustment 3 times a day and as the plantar fasciitis was getting gradually better I noticed that my body is being attacked by something all over my body so I gooled the symptoms. Autoimmune disease and one in particular was fibromyalgia but the lab result came back with a positive RA at 80 and I was devastated. I changed my diet completely, going on 3weeks now, and I have less flare ups currently. I will see a RA specialist in 6 weeks and I will fight to get my inflammation down so that I don't need to deal with the drugs. I know I consumed too many bakery goods everyday prior to flare ups and going forward, I definitely will not eat desserts.
Just saw this video, I have RA since 2009, tried all the drugs not successful but 1 now a pill Rinvoq, helps about 90%, still have foot wrist hand pain, lactose intolerant don’t have diary, I believe Stress and environment is the other factors for my RA, you have to take into account what people have gone thru in theirs lives then and now
Wouldn’t these individual foods be more related to gut impermeability? If you have leaky gut, you will react to foods that aren’t actually a problem for you… right? I think gut health is a big miss in this study.
The foods that are eliminated are the ones that may cause a leaky gut in some people - that's the whole point. It may not be that the foods cause an immune reaction, it may be that the foods cause a leaky gut which then allows 'stuff' to pass through the gut lining and produces an immune response. It may also be that some foods are digested by your gut bacteria which then excrete substances which irritate your gut. In the Mediterranean, the old cooks used to remove the skin and seeds from tomatoes and cucumbers and would make bread using sourdough so that the gluten is fully destroyed by the bacteria. These days we just make bubbles in gluten-enriched bread using pure yeast for 30 minutes and then we eat raw gluten. Nature has put toxic chemicals in seeds to prevent animals and insects from eating them or chewing them. Grains are not well tolerated by animals either.
In traditional Chinese medicine, mushrooms, asparagus, and cauliflower, and more than a glass of soy milk (made the Chinese way, more watery than Silk's soy milk), are considered trigger foods for gout and arthritis. Just FYI. I hope you will test these items also.
I’m feeling very frustrated.. I’ve been changing my diet since the day I was diagnosed with sero negative RA in 2019. My blood shows high CRP but negative for typical RA markers. Considering I’m mostly plant based, zero refined sugar, no dairy, eggs or meat other than fish. Reduced lectins and oxilates. Active lifestyle prior to diagnosis and continue to get out on walks daily. On methotrexate, which made me very I’ll over time, now on Simponi 6 weeks. Still have huge aches in most joints. Anyone out there with similar experience?
Wow a lot of eye opening problematic foods that I was not aware of😱😱 thank you so much for this information 😇I have RA and will be putting it into practice although I have eliminated a lot of these foods from my diet and have gotten great results so far there is always room for improvement😱😱
Hi, just wondering how your RA has been over the year. I have RA and recently in so much pain. Knees, ankles, feet, shoulders, hands, I can't sleep at night because of the pain. This is so debilitating. Hope you are doing well on your journey.
I was diagnosed with RA over the summer and have a lot of the same pain locations you mentioned. At times I have been debilitated. It’s painful and frightening. Prayers for all suffering with this and their families.
Hello. I have this problème of AR about more than 15 years and I'd very much hope that an américain spécialiste could answer my question. Is it possible to put on weight in this case?
I have RA (23 years). The keto diet saved me. 4 years on it now. Lost a bunch of weight (100 lbs) and now feel fantastic. My rheumatologist is amazed. I take weekly injection of methotrexate and a biological shot plus folic acid. That’s it.
If you're taking a weekly injection of methotrexate, you are taking a very dangerous med which can give you ulcers in your stomach and mouth, and it can seriously damage your liver and you have to be tested monthly. I DON'T CALL THAT A SUCCESS un route if your strict diet and your $100 lb. weight loss. Both the diet and the methotrexate are very bad for your health.
I wish that a study would be done on MaP presence in our meat supply and human disease. Mycoplasma avian Sub species Paratuberculosis is present in almost all of our meat supply. MaP infections and campylobacter infections are found in Crohn’s and Alzheimer’s patients.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing this information!!!❤ I could successfully cut off all the medicine I took for 8 years🎉🎉🎉. I started WFPB last year and followed Dr.Brook Goldner’s protocol. This video gave me confidence at that time to proceed the journey. This video randomly pop up again on my phone one year later (today). I am so grateful I can leave this comment for those who are reluctant to start this healing diet. It works. Go for it!
This is great did they also look at eliminating oils known to be inflammatory, and adding omega 3 in form of flax or chia, known to be anti inflammatory ?
Why are they not talking about the carnivore diet? There are literally thousands of testimonials from people sharing how after trying plant based, vegan, medication, and other thing...they experienced total relief from symptoms of RA as well as other autoimmune diseases. It's like a miracle.
Meat depends what the animals are eating. What the animal is being fed is what gets passed on to the person eating the meat...so try to eat meats that not raised in a CAFO or eggs by hens fed GMO corn and soy or any other grains that are GMO or bred to have herbicide in them.
Have you been able to follow any of the subjects long enough that their bodies actually got healthy away from the animals and dairy and processed foods? Curious whether the negative reaction from an apple or corn would stop once their microbiomes had a proper chance to recover from all that damage. Also Dr. Brooke Goldner has been helping heal autoimmune with lots of greens & flax or chia for many years now, including sjogrens & RA
Interesting, but I wonder why your starting point was no meat or fish? Did participants try to bring those foods back during the reintroduction phase? I think it would be so hard to maintain. I wonder if eating a lot of processed food is really the problem and this is why there was a immediate improvement.
root veg (carrots, swede, turnips), potatoes, most leafy salad veg, chicken, red meat (best organic and grass fed), cauliflower, sweet pots, celery, leeks, cucumber, mushrooms, onions, squash, avocado, okra, radish, leafy herbs, beets, zucchini/courgettes, artichokes. Plenty of lists if you google AIP allowed foods. But the point is that the 2nd stage reintroduces most of the forbidden foods back into your diet until you hit one that brings on a flare up again.
I would be very interested in joining studies like these. I have RA, Chron's, Hashimotos and Sjogrens. I eat WFPD. I still have to take meds for everything except the Sjogrens and Chron's. What else can I do?
I'm bewildered, in the way, that half of what I read and with the videos I've watched regarding diet and rheumatory arthritis, some swear by vegan type diet approach, while others swear by a meat only regimen. Some are just regular people and some are doctors. So I don't know what to think. I know, that for me, vegetables just don't seem to fair well with my gut, whether it be cooked vegetables or a tossed salad.
Try the AIP diet plan. You start by eliminating all potential foodstuffs which may irritate the gut. Then (if your symptoms improve in next 6-8 weeks or sooner) you can slowly start to reintroduce various foodstuffs. With an autoimmune disease, your body is reacting to something that you ingest. In my case it was grains (wheat,barley,rye,oats, flour, brewers yeast, beer, bread, pasta, etc.). Some people have an intolerance to cows milk, it just depends on what your immune system has become sensitive too and the AIP plan will help you find out.
Yeah, as the other commenter said, try an elimination diet The thing is: an all meat diet would probably work, but it’s not sustainable for a majority of people (it’s boring af), it’s not ecological, it’s expensive and the animals suffer… I think of it as an AIP for people that aren’t very bright and/or lazy folks 🤷♀️ An elimination diet should be TEMPORARY, as she said in the video: 3 weeks. You can do anything for 3 weeks. The point of it is to see what your triggers are. Eating only meat removes beneficial gut bacteria, increases heart disease and increases cancer and diabetes risks by quite a bit. Just try an AIP, then slowly (one food at a time) add in restricted foods, and keep notes. It’ll take a few months of experimenting, but it’ll be worth it and you’re not restricted to only meat for the rest of your life
My question is if everyone is different regarding the elimination of particular foods, how did they devise the 'elimination list' in the first place? Also, why was a plant based diet chosen as a starting point? BTW, this video was interesting to me because I have just relieved my chronic joint pain by eliminating wheat products. Only the suspected RA in my thumbs remains.
I have eliminated all grains (not just wheat) and now have no joint pain and take no meds for last 6 years (had RA for over 60 years). Some 'gluten-free' bread causes flare-ups in me. I agree with you that the study is 'backwards' - they should start with a strict list of allowed foods for first 3 weeks and then add in more foods. Also there is no description of exactly what the foods were or how they were selected by the patients. Were they allowed to use their own judgement?
Because normally meat, cheese and dairy are the triggers they start it off with the food that is anti-inflammatory. It looks like you have may be a problem with gluten?💪🏻
Very interesting study. Where is the link to see the list of foods you can eat on the first part of the diet? I always thought that sweet potatoes where not considered inflammatory since they are not nightshades.
We helped an elderly parent transition to a WFPB diet and she said that her pains were reduced by about 60% after 6 days, and 80% after 10 days. N=1 in this case, but just another exemple. We never tried the elimination diet, that was only going plant-based. She used to eat a lot of meat and cheese and clearly this wrecked her osteoporosis-muscular health. Now she is better with a 95% vegan diet.
I conducted a similar N=1 study on myself by eliminating wheat products, but kept some animal products (eggs, lean meat) in my diet. The result was very similar.
Do not eat any grains. No wheat, barley, rye, oats, flour, yeast, beer. Try for a few weeks. Many people see a huge improvement. Note that foods labelled 'gluten-free' are NOT safe, unless they contain no grains at all.
@@AtticusR Cutting out 'gluten' works for me too, but the 'gluten-free' label is only for celiacs and many bread products labelled as gluten-free also cause me flare ups, so I avoid all grains (rice seems OK though). All grains contain gluten but there are many different types of gluten. The gluten-free label just means it does not contain wheat, barley or rye (or oats if in EU) - it does not mean that it is gluten free! It is mis-lablelled and is a confusing LIE! It just means its OK for 90% of celiacs.
I have to give it a try - thank you so much for sharing. For me I admit that the difficulties for me that I do love coffee, and oats and Rye and tomatoes and onions and organic potatoes. It is pretty easy to avoid animal products, but I do like once a week a heering or a small piece of salmon …..🍀💚
No wheat, barley, oats or rye, and only skinless and seedless tomatoes and cucumbers. The rest should be OK (possibly not coffee). Basically avoid grains.
Start by eating only tray bakes of root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, swedes) for first day or so and avocado. Then add potatoes and onions. Then marrow/courgettes (no seeds). Then dairy and eggs, then meat. Then other veg. groups each week. Remove skin and seeds of tomatoes and cucumbers. Lastly, add grain-containing foods into diet (bread, pizza,wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet, rice,flour, yeast, beer). Note that normal cows milk may give a different reaction from Jersey cow/sheep/goats milk.
I have a friend who had taken traditional medicine and a diet plan from Nze Njoku Herbal Home to treat Arthritis and High Blood Pressure and for some years now he looks normal. From severe pain always a sick guy for some years Now he looks so healthy and enjoying normal productive life😊 Praise God.
Praise God indeed! I was recently diagnosed with RA and am exploring dietary adjustments to eliminate inflammation, if you wouldn’t mind please pray for me on this journey. Thank you and was a blessing to hear about your friends success.
My sister is suffering from RA, she is so much pain in small joints if she can't take medicine, she has so much pain she can't did any work she had whole body joints pain, please tell me which food she has to eat so that she had no enflamation
Food marked 'gluten-free' may contain gluten. 'gluten-free' just means it does not contain wheat, barley or rye. It may contain other grains which contains other glutens and which may trigger RA. Just avoid all grains if you have RA!
“How fats and oils affect rheumatoid arthritis” on TH-cam by Clint Paddison. Research into cell membrane biology as affected by degree of saturation of the oil. ( Plus results from their 16,000 subscribers). Try eliminating all oils and fats first and then later emphasize flax and algae oil.
Not all vegan food is healthy so it’s confusing as vegans can drink certain alcohols, have sugar and there are some questionable processed vegan foods eg. meat alternatives… I thought this was a good diet for RA: organic chicken, fish, eggs, vegetables, beans, legumes, fruit, nuts, olive oil and eliminating all processed foods like sugar, white bread, white pasta, white rice, cakes, biscuits, alcohol (the occasional one glass wine with food, small coffee, sheep and goat cheeses, ricotta, dark chocolate, seeded sourdough bread - brown, red, black and wild rice - spelt and chickpea pasta all ok in moderation) I was recently diagnosed so in the early stages and want to be healthy and get it right.
I realize not all the foods listed are eliminated permanently, but during the elimination phase you wouldn't be able to follow any of the plant based doctors' diets! Soy, chickpeas, onions, sweet potatoes, oats...
As a vegan my diet is already very restrictive, and very healthful- much more so than most. Yet I am still facing down RA. A diet is not the miracle cure for everything. You’re not taking away my sweet potatoes, nootch, and tofu. I’ll stick with eliminating alcohol and refined sugars and see where that goes, thanks.
Try the AIP diet plan. You start by eliminating all potential foodstuffs which may irritate the gut. Then (if your symptoms improve in next 6-8 weeks or sooner) you can slowly start to reintroduce various foodstuffs. With an autoimmune disease, your body is reacting to something that you ingest. However, you also may have a damaged gut lining and this may cause poor nutrient absorption, so you may also need to take multivitamins, iron, D3, K2 and B12 plus omega-3 supplements (but be careful to check what filler substances they use - e.g. no wheat/grain-based fillers, etc.). re. alcohol, I have found it best to avoid grain-based drink (beer, whiskey, etc.) and white wine (sinus issues) and I just stick to one glass of red wine. It's not really about eating stuff that is good for you, it's about avoiding any stuff which is bad for you.
@@steve6375 You are assuming a lot about me here, Steve. I did not ask for your advice, but I’m going to assume you are only replying because you care. So thank you all the same.
@@ToriKlassen1 Of course I am replying because I care! AI is an autoimmune disease. Your body is producing autoantibodies which are caused by an antigen which is causing an immune response. The problem is often caused by what you eat/drink/contact that causes this immune response. e.g. If I am fed meals which have been laced with arsenic, no amount of tofu is going to cure that! I am not saying don't eat tofu, I am saying don't eat 'arsenic'. Some food(s) may be your 'arsenic' and you won't find out unless you exclude them from your diet in a carefully controlled, scientific way. Apologies if you have already been down this route. I had RA for over 60 years from age of 5. I found out that grains cause flare ups and my joint pain (in my specific case). I have been med-free and pain free for 5 years now after 60 years of living in discomfort and taking NSAIDS.
It's not rocket science it's trial and error. Vegans can be unhealthy too, you're right it's no miracle cure but finding what triggers you is key. It's not A diet that is causing symptoms it's YOUR diet. Steve was genuinely trying to help you.

I have RA (23 years). The keto diet saved me. 4 years on it now. Lost a bunch of weight (100 lbs) and now feel fantastic. My rheumatologist is amazed. I take weekly injection of methotrexate and a biological shot plus folic acid. That’s it.
If you're taking a weekly injection of methotrexate, you are taking a very dangerous med which can give you ulcers in your stomach and mouth, and it can seriously damage your liver and you have to be tested monthly. I DON'T CALL THAT A SUCCESS un route if your strict diet and your $100 lb. weight loss. Both the diet and the methotrexate are very bad for your health.
I wish that a study would be done on MaP presence in our meat supply and human disease. Mycoplasma avian Sub species Paratuberculosis is present in almost all of our meat supply. MaP infections and campylobacter infections are found in Crohn’s and Alzheimer’s patients.
Highly informative video! Kudos!
If your Dr doesn't suggest a RA diet plan, ASK!
Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing this information!!!❤
I could successfully cut off all the medicine I took for 8 years🎉🎉🎉. I started WFPB last year and followed Dr.Brook Goldner’s protocol. This video gave me confidence at that time to proceed the journey. This video randomly pop up again on my phone one year later (today). I am so grateful I can leave this comment for those who are reluctant to start this healing diet. It works. Go for it!
Hi. I’m watching and learning a lot from your videos. When you say 3 or 4?portion s of veggies what does it mean - cup or in grams?
This is great did they also look at eliminating oils known to be inflammatory, and adding omega 3 in form of flax or chia, known to be anti inflammatory ?
Does anyone know the link that the Dr spoke of in the video...where to get the complete food list and papers on the eliminatation foods?
I would like to know that to
8:22 Can someone tell me where the paper is posted as Hana promised?
Why are they not talking about the carnivore diet? There are literally thousands of testimonials from people sharing how after trying plant based, vegan, medication, and other thing...they experienced total relief from symptoms of RA as well as other autoimmune diseases. It's like a miracle.
Got somewhat better then suffered from carnivore after strictly adhering to it for over 6 months
This is definitely good to know.
Where are those list for elimination foods?
I have RA and I literally can't find a successful treatment. Every medication lasts only 2 weeks to a month max. It is so frustrating.
Meat depends what the animals are eating. What the animal is being fed is what gets passed on to the person eating the meat...so try to eat meats that not raised in a CAFO or eggs by hens fed GMO corn and soy or any other grains that are GMO or bred to have herbicide in them.
Fascinating!
Have you been able to follow any of the subjects long enough that their bodies actually got healthy away from the animals and dairy and processed foods? Curious whether the negative reaction from an apple or corn would stop once their microbiomes had a proper chance to recover from all that damage. Also Dr. Brooke Goldner has been helping heal autoimmune with lots of greens & flax or chia for many years now, including sjogrens & RA
Love Dr, Goldner
Hello, I avoided animal products, but now I have developed B12 deficiency now so what to do?
Dear Dr. Kahleova, what is your view on the MOLECULAR MIMICRY theory causing the autoimmune reaction in rheumatoid arthritis?
Interesting, but I wonder why your starting point was no meat or fish? Did participants try to bring those foods back during the reintroduction phase? I think it would be so hard to maintain. I wonder if eating a lot of processed food is really the problem and this is why there was a immediate improvement.
I just posted the same question, but they don't appear to be answering questions in the comments section.
The Physician’s Committee’s purpose is to promote veganism, that’s why. It’s not exactly unbiased.
Animal products promote inflammation
What’s left to eat after all of those foods are eliminated?! 😮
root veg (carrots, swede, turnips), potatoes, most leafy salad veg, chicken, red meat (best organic and grass fed), cauliflower, sweet pots, celery, leeks, cucumber, mushrooms, onions, squash, avocado, okra, radish, leafy herbs, beets, zucchini/courgettes, artichokes. Plenty of lists if you google AIP allowed foods. But the point is that the 2nd stage reintroduces most of the forbidden foods back into your diet until you hit one that brings on a flare up again.
Your life and the enjoyment that goes with it
Where do you find the diet?
I do not find a link to the study and the protocol guidelines here. Please advise.
I would be very interested in joining studies like these. I have RA, Chron's, Hashimotos and Sjogrens. I eat WFPD. I still have to take meds for everything except the Sjogrens and Chron's. What else can I do?
Raw vegan no processed foods no oils
You might need to look into your microbiota profile?
Try taking vitamin k2D3 in doses from 3000-5000 IU daily, it resolved all the pain i had in my joints
Dr. Brooke Goldner has free information online and books and classes, do her protocol
raw vegan and intermittent or regular mini fasts
Great information i just had a flare my first and let me tell you the pain is like a kidney stone but all over your body!
Starting this today. I'll report back.
I've been vegan for 4 years so I only need 3 weeks of additional elimination. I'm 2 weeks in. So far my joints pain is at a 1/10. I feel awesome!
@@tessbabcock8169 Does being vegan work for your RA?
What‘s the difference between RA and A?
RA is autoimmune condition
I'm bewildered, in the way, that half of what I read and with the videos I've watched regarding diet and rheumatory arthritis, some swear by vegan type diet approach, while others swear by a meat only regimen. Some are just regular people and some are doctors. So I don't know what to think.
I know, that for me, vegetables just don't seem to fair well with my gut, whether it be cooked vegetables or a tossed salad.
Try the AIP diet plan. You start by eliminating all potential foodstuffs which may irritate the gut. Then (if your symptoms improve in next 6-8 weeks or sooner) you can slowly start to reintroduce various foodstuffs. With an autoimmune disease, your body is reacting to something that you ingest. In my case it was grains (wheat,barley,rye,oats, flour, brewers yeast, beer, bread, pasta, etc.). Some people have an intolerance to cows milk, it just depends on what your immune system has become sensitive too and the AIP plan will help you find out.
Yeah, as the other commenter said, try an elimination diet
The thing is: an all meat diet would probably work, but it’s not sustainable for a majority of people (it’s boring af), it’s not ecological, it’s expensive and the animals suffer… I think of it as an AIP for people that aren’t very bright and/or lazy folks 🤷♀️
An elimination diet should be TEMPORARY, as she said in the video: 3 weeks. You can do anything for 3 weeks. The point of it is to see what your triggers are. Eating only meat removes beneficial gut bacteria, increases heart disease and increases cancer and diabetes risks by quite a bit.
Just try an AIP, then slowly (one food at a time) add in restricted foods, and keep notes. It’ll take a few months of experimenting, but it’ll be worth it and you’re not restricted to only meat for the rest of your life
My question is if everyone is different regarding the elimination of particular foods, how did they devise the 'elimination list' in the first place? Also, why was a plant based diet chosen as a starting point?
BTW, this video was interesting to me because I have just relieved my chronic joint pain by eliminating wheat products. Only the suspected RA in my thumbs remains.
Try taking vitamin k2 D3 in doses from 3000-5000 IU daily, it resolved all the pain i had in my joints
I have eliminated all grains (not just wheat) and now have no joint pain and take no meds for last 6 years (had RA for over 60 years). Some 'gluten-free' bread causes flare-ups in me. I agree with you that the study is 'backwards' - they should start with a strict list of allowed foods for first 3 weeks and then add in more foods. Also there is no description of exactly what the foods were or how they were selected by the patients. Were they allowed to use their own judgement?
Because normally meat, cheese and dairy are the triggers they start it off with the food that is anti-inflammatory. It looks like you have may be a problem with gluten?💪🏻
@@RichS.74yroldbodybuilder Either gluten or something else that's in wheat. I haven't been tested, just glad to be rid of my health problems.
I would be interested in knowing which foods caused the highest number of flare ups?
Very interesting study. Where is the link to see the list of foods you can eat on the first part of the diet? I always thought that sweet potatoes where not considered inflammatory since they are not nightshades.
They are high in oxalates, if you're sensitive...
@@lf7065 so is quinoa and it's allowed
Is there a diet to overcome cellulitis in the legs? One is bigger than the other.
We helped an elderly parent transition to a WFPB diet and she said that her pains were reduced by about 60% after 6 days, and 80% after 10 days. N=1 in this case, but just another exemple. We never tried the elimination diet, that was only going plant-based. She used to eat a lot of meat and cheese and clearly this wrecked her osteoporosis-muscular health. Now she is better with a 95% vegan diet.
I conducted a similar N=1 study on myself by eliminating wheat products, but kept some animal products (eggs, lean meat) in my diet. The result was very similar.
My mum is 75 and has RA and she can not take any .meds bcs she also fibrosis in her lungs pls advice
Try taking vitamin K2D3 in doses from 3000-5000 IU daily, it resolved all the pain i had in my joints, but
Do not eat any grains. No wheat, barley, rye, oats, flour, yeast, beer. Try for a few weeks. Many people see a huge improvement. Note that foods labelled 'gluten-free' are NOT safe, unless they contain no grains at all.
I am 35 and have RA. I cut out red meat, veg oil, gluten, sugary food.
@@AtticusR Cutting out 'gluten' works for me too, but the 'gluten-free' label is only for celiacs and many bread products labelled as gluten-free also cause me flare ups, so I avoid all grains (rice seems OK though). All grains contain gluten but there are many different types of gluten. The gluten-free label just means it does not contain wheat, barley or rye (or oats if in EU) - it does not mean that it is gluten free! It is mis-lablelled and is a confusing LIE! It just means its OK for 90% of celiacs.
Inflammation , gluten free , dairy free, sugar free, just eat salamon fish ,
Maybe it's foods sprayed with bug kill or fertilizer.
I have to give it a try - thank you so much for sharing. For me I admit that the difficulties for me that I do love coffee, and oats and Rye and tomatoes and onions and organic potatoes. It is pretty easy to avoid animal products, but I do like once a week a heering or a small piece of salmon …..🍀💚
Try taking vitamin k2D3 in doses from 3000-5000 IU daily, it resolved all the pain i had in my joints
No wheat, barley, oats or rye, and only skinless and seedless tomatoes and cucumbers. The rest should be OK (possibly not coffee). Basically avoid grains.
If you like oats go for organic gluten free oats.. the problem is the gluten
Is there an elimination diet cookbook? I’d be very interested in purchasing this
Have you seen the Paddison Program? You have to pay for access to the program.
Start by eating only tray bakes of root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, swedes) for first day or so and avocado. Then add potatoes and onions. Then marrow/courgettes (no seeds). Then dairy and eggs, then meat. Then other veg. groups each week. Remove skin and seeds of tomatoes and cucumbers. Lastly, add grain-containing foods into diet (bread, pizza,wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet, rice,flour, yeast, beer). Note that normal cows milk may give a different reaction from Jersey cow/sheep/goats milk.
I have a friend who had taken traditional medicine and a diet plan from Nze Njoku Herbal Home to treat Arthritis and High Blood Pressure and for some years now he looks normal. From severe pain always a sick guy for some years Now he looks so healthy and enjoying normal productive life😊 Praise God.
Praise God indeed! I was recently diagnosed with RA and am exploring dietary adjustments to eliminate inflammation, if you wouldn’t mind please pray for me on this journey. Thank you and was a blessing to hear about your friends success.
My sister is suffering from RA, she is so much pain in small joints if she can't take medicine, she has so much pain she can't did any work she had whole body joints pain, please tell me which food she has to eat so that she had no enflamation

What u eated pls tell ma@@steve6375
Chuck, Hana check: Dr, Brook Goldner.
4:35 The Diet.
Gluten is a real big trigger.
I cut grains from my diet about five weeks ago and what a difference!
Food marked 'gluten-free' may contain gluten. 'gluten-free' just means it does not contain wheat, barley or rye. It may contain other grains which contains other glutens and which may trigger RA. Just avoid all grains if you have RA!
“How fats and oils affect rheumatoid arthritis” on TH-cam by Clint Paddison. Research into cell membrane biology as affected by degree of saturation of the oil. ( Plus results from their 16,000 subscribers). Try eliminating all oils and fats first and then later emphasize flax and algae oil.
How is honey?
Plants can be highly inflammatoey because of Omega 6...and lectins, and glutens.
and oxalates - that seems to be something that exacerbates my symptoms.
Is millet an option to eat? Or its phytic acid content is a no go? Thank you
RA CARE PACK OF PLANET AYURVEDA IS GOOD FOR ARTHRITIS.
Not all vegan food is healthy so it’s confusing as vegans can drink certain alcohols, have sugar and there are some questionable processed vegan foods eg. meat alternatives…
I thought this was a good diet for RA: organic chicken, fish, eggs, vegetables, beans, legumes, fruit, nuts, olive oil and eliminating all processed foods like sugar, white bread, white pasta, white rice, cakes, biscuits, alcohol (the occasional one glass wine with food, small coffee, sheep and goat cheeses, ricotta, dark chocolate, seeded sourdough bread - brown, red, black and wild rice - spelt and chickpea pasta all ok in moderation)
I was recently diagnosed so in the early stages and want to be healthy and get it right.
I realize not all the foods listed are eliminated permanently, but during the elimination phase you wouldn't be able to follow any of the plant based doctors' diets!
Soy, chickpeas, onions, sweet potatoes, oats...
Check out Dr. Brook goldners protocol
Rebuilding damaged cartilage on a veagan diet, without essential amino acids and essential fatty acids, seems impossible. Unless im missing something.
As a vegan my diet is already very restrictive, and very healthful- much more so than most. Yet I am still facing down RA. A diet is not the miracle cure for everything. You’re not taking away my sweet potatoes, nootch, and tofu. I’ll stick with eliminating alcohol and refined sugars and see where that goes, thanks.
Try the AIP diet plan. You start by eliminating all potential foodstuffs which may irritate the gut. Then (if your symptoms improve in next 6-8 weeks or sooner) you can slowly start to reintroduce various foodstuffs. With an autoimmune disease, your body is reacting to something that you ingest. However, you also may have a damaged gut lining and this may cause poor nutrient absorption, so you may also need to take multivitamins, iron, D3, K2 and B12 plus omega-3 supplements (but be careful to check what filler substances they use - e.g. no wheat/grain-based fillers, etc.). re. alcohol, I have found it best to avoid grain-based drink (beer, whiskey, etc.) and white wine (sinus issues) and I just stick to one glass of red wine. It's not really about eating stuff that is good for you, it's about avoiding any stuff which is bad for you.
@@steve6375 You are assuming a lot about me here, Steve. I did not ask for your advice, but I’m going to assume you are only replying because you care. So thank you all the same.
@@ToriKlassen1 Of course I am replying because I care! AI is an autoimmune disease. Your body is producing autoantibodies which are caused by an antigen which is causing an immune response. The problem is often caused by what you eat/drink/contact that causes this immune response. e.g. If I am fed meals which have been laced with arsenic, no amount of tofu is going to cure that! I am not saying don't eat tofu, I am saying don't eat 'arsenic'. Some food(s) may be your 'arsenic' and you won't find out unless you exclude them from your diet in a carefully controlled, scientific way. Apologies if you have already been down this route. I had RA for over 60 years from age of 5. I found out that grains cause flare ups and my joint pain (in my specific case). I have been med-free and pain free for 5 years now after 60 years of living in discomfort and taking NSAIDS.
It's not rocket science it's trial and error. Vegans can be unhealthy too, you're right it's no miracle cure but finding what triggers you is key. It's not A diet that is causing symptoms it's YOUR diet. Steve was genuinely trying to help you.

auto immune paleo protocol works wonders
Yes, it does. It put my autoimmune disease into remission. I don’t understand why more people don’t just do that.
The cure is cheaper than the cause.
Nothing to eat ?

Thank you doctor.it helps me ra fact or
Avoid sour food...and have plant base diet.👍
Why avoid sour food? I actually read that fermented foods, like Kimchi and yogurt are anti-inflammatory.
Fungus.
I really hate when people say plant based is the only way 😳
It isn't. I eliminated most of my chronic joint pain just by cutting wheat (gluten?) from my diet.
How about grain and oatmeal? I have RA for more than 30 years and my joints are severely damaged! Don't know what to eat ?
Go for organic gluten free oats
Me too, and I have been vegan for 5 years.

Carnivore and fasting are the only super successful protocols.
They said no meat in video?? Doescarnivore really work??
Yes, it does. But I would recommend Autoimme Paleo. That is what put my autoimmune disease into remission after 30 of suffering.
