Hi Caren, I have had RA for ten years and take biological that give me an almost normal lifestyle. Without the meds I can barely walk and in excruciating pain. I have received a lot of advice about why to eat and over the years had I followed everyone's dietary suggestion, I would be eating only turmeric. So if you like turmeric it's worth a try. I just try to eat healthy exercise and thank God there are meds to control this scrappy disease.

Hi Caren
Do hope you are feeling well and coping over this Holliday time
as for Diets there are as many as days in the year and you can spend thousands on them
I think the best advice is to eat sensibly and everything in moderation
if You find you get a flare up after a particular thing then - re try it if it happens again then sure avoid that food ,
I too have heard good things about Turmeric haven't tried it myself tho
I find I have to drink a lot whether that is the RA or the Diabetes im not sure
But the Healthier you can keep yourself the Better so Fresh Fruit/Veg Good Variation of foods where you can perhaps a natural Multi Vitamin

Hey Carenpolar,

You can go for these fibrous foods such as whole grains, beans and veggies...that help in controlling the inflammation.Go for blueberries,oranges,cherries,sweet poataoes and carrots...that help to ward off inflammation easily.A good healthy diet alongwith exercise always acts as a catalyst for any disease.

They say dark fruits and veggies are good for inflamation.
Pineapple is loaded with antiinflammatories.

Blueberries are a plus...

Caren,

Just wondering if the warmer climate is helping with your RA? We live in Idaho and it's pretty cold here in the winter. We also have a place in the Mountains during the winter. Each time we've gone up there this year I've suggest to my husband maybe we should buy a timeshare in Belize..
