    Personal note, I have a bad hip, I've known it was so since I was 7 years old. A birth defect in the cartilage, I speculate. Anyways, it is 100% asymptomatic since I've been off dairy (dairy was a huge trigger for it flaring up.) I have run 100 miles in a week of training for marathons and never had the slightest trouble with it. That said, a couple weeks ago I indulged in some wine. Well. WOW. My hip was so inflamed I could barely walk! Apparently the alcohol triggered some sort of inflammation. A week later, the pain went away and I'm perfectly fine again:) No residual discomfort, and my full range of motion is back.
    So.....NO WINE FOR ME, THANKS! And yes. It is events like these, which make me happy to be so sensitive to my diet. It keeps me honest! And...it is remarkable (night and day!!!) the difference diet makes, in the way I feel.

      Symptoms can reduce with either but to actually get rid of the antibodies and be well I would go full whole plants with a ton of cruciferous and flax or chia for omega 3s like Dr. Goldner's goodbye autoimmune protocol. Haven't seen any omnivores or carnivores actually reverse the disease and be well for real

Now i am on steroids temporarily because the rash is so severe. We have stop the medication of course but she said it stays in your system for three months. She also said RA can remain dormant in your system and come back with a fury so I need to be on some thing. I am very exasperated and becoming depressed about the whole situation.

    Interesting - I never really thought about the denaturation of proteins with respect to food sensitivities before. Due to its acidic environment, fermentation also must cause denaturation of proteins. This probably explains why some people have problems with edamame but can eat fermented soy products such as tofu.

      When I eat bread I cook my own. It's got lots of crumbs which is a minor issue though. I make whole wheat bread with yeast, and I have tended to eat with salt on the surface of the bread. I eat when it's hot and it is super delicious *plus* it has plenty of protein and calories. I have a bread machine in my car trunk that I have used many, many times. I stay at some rentals that don't have a kitchen, but have just a fridge and microwave.

      Avoid all :

      Animally- sourced foods
      Chemical food additives
      ( So, you are eliminating any triggering factors)
