I am a patient diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 2 years back. I am on allopathic & ayurvedic medication. Recently I attended a symposium on wheat related disorders and came to know that gluten can trigger RA. On an experimental basis I have stopped eating wheat products since past few days. I feel there is slight improvement in my symptoms. Hope I am doing the right thing, please guide. Thanks.

It is called as Rheumatic arthritis. If your pain is more in the distal joints, ie. In the upper limbs if the pain is present in the fingers/wrist and in the lower limbs it the pain is present in the toes/ ankle, then we shall definitely say it is Rheumatic arthritis. Wear elbow brace and wrist brace which will make her to feel warm and that will make the joints become firm. Hot water fermentation will help Knee cap will also help to prevent the damaged cartilages. If your pain is more in the distal joints, ie.

Which joints you have pain? If your proximal joints (ie. Shoulder, hip & knee has pain) then you can pour hot (warm) water in that area to reduce the inflammation.
