    Is there a special kind of diet I should be on for my arthritis?

    This is a great question, a lot of people (even doctors) don’t know this, but diet can make a big difference in people with rheumatoid arthritis. I recently wrote some blogs about the possible benefits of avoiding saturated fats and eating more omega-3 fatty acids.

    Although there is not a specific “arthritis diet” that is guaranteed to cure you, one study showed that 40% of people with rheumatoid arthritis may benefit from an elimination diet.

    You can learn more about elimination diets in my blog here: http://www.hellolife.net/eating-healthy/b/elimination-dietanti-inflammatory-diet/

    My elimination diet is a great way to remove foods that might trigger your rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.

    Stay Healthy,

    Dr. Jeff M.D.

    It might seem like a pain to do, it is better to protect your children now, then wait until something bad

    Great advice, Dr. Chamberlain. Here is a blog I recently posted on this very topic as well. Although the science is not yet there, diet plays an incredible role with inflammation - an aspect with a huge role in arthritis.

    Hopefully the advice offered within both Dr. Chamberlains and my own blog will help to answer your questions.

    In good health,
