I am hla b27 negative and the diet helps me.

This is how I made my decision... I tried humira and orencia with little or not good results, I was allergic to remicade. I was taking metheltrexate, but developed all the nasty side effects and I could still not eat starchy foods while taking those mtx because I still felt ALOT of pain, so for me the meds were not a good choice, they made me anemic too. I thought when I was on the meds I could eat whatever I wanted, but I was wrong.
But they seem to work great for some people and maybe you will be able to eat everything you want to eat.
Everyone has to make that choice for themselves . I believe that for some of us diet can make us better. My labs went from a sed rate of 55 to 25 which is normal, it took 6 months and I am hoping it gets better, but I am so grateful for all the progress.

Maybe if you take a break from the NSD/LSD you will see if its helping you or not. I have done that in the past and it only confirms how much poor food choices make my joints swell...visibly swell. I also have a lot of pain when I eat foods on my fringe list. Maybe try eating whatever you want for a few days and see if it really makes a difference. Some say diet does not affect their AS. ?

I hope you feel better soon.


Diet change has improved my RA. I feel best eating raw veggies and some fruits and avoiding grains, sugars, nightshades, beans and dairy. Sed rate dropped from 65 to 19, but it took over a year.
