In the "Independent" (a reputable UK newspaper) last Wednesday
(July 12), there was an article on rheumatoid arthritis and diet:
"Out went pizzas and pasta - and with them, the pain"
It reported, with one example, on the current research by Dr Gail
Darlington, consultant physician at Epsom Health Care NHS trust.
Also, the article states

<<
Doctors in Norway have recently conducted a scientifically controlled
study.. Two groups of patients were compared over a year. One group
ate a normal diet and another ate a gluten-free, vegan diet for the
first five months. Other foods were gradually introduced on a trial
basis: if they caused problems, they were dropped again. The results,
which were published in the Lancet, showed that the second group
had considerably reduced symptoms at the end of the study.

I am curious to know whether there are many celiacs reading this who
suffer badly with rheumatoid arthritis.  I am interested because I
am on a gluten free diet (DH) and do not suffer from rheumatoid arthritis,
but some close relatives not on the diet DO suffer.
