I'm not sure what you mean, but both a co-worker and a co-workers wife found that eliminating nightshades like the GP did, eliminated their need for medication as well. My wife has a different autoimmune disorder, and had good luck eliminating a different food. The autoimmune protocol is the name for the elimination regimen. There is actually a great deal of literature to back this up. But I believe diet doesn't enter standard of care quickly because of low compliance, among more cynical reasons. This is just anecdotal, but it isn't just subjective symptom descriptions either. These people quit meds while under a doctor's care because their antibody tests reduced dramatically on the diet.
Ruling out peppers, eggplants and tomatoes isn't fun, but it isn't even close to impossible. Imagine having immune responses to corn! Maybe it won't work, but it only takes about a month to evaluate.
- michaelmrose 4y agoYou are unintentionally illustrating my point. We are aware of the perception that non-medical people believe there is a miracle cure to be found in everything from eliminating tomatoes to according to one enterprising individual drinking your own pee. My wife naturally rarely eats nightshades and consumption has zero correlation with inflammation or RA. If it were as simple as not eating tomatoes everyone would be cured. Instead every person that deals with that who goes to specialists regularly, who deals with the negative side effects of the drugs that actually reduce inflammation and keep your insides and joints from being destroyed has heard countless fake cures.
