Has anyone tried this way of eating to improve their autoimmune issues?

What way are you speaking of?  I have a certain diet I stick to, but nothing written down.

Welcome to Sjogren's World, how about introducing yourself and telling us something about yourself in the Newbie Topic.

G'day aoteri, I have a book in my Library titled Fit for Life.  It talks about how our health problems are caused by what we eat or don't eat.

Hi aoteri,

Let me also welcome you to the SJS World.  Please peruse the board as there are tons of topics and oodles of great members too.

Is there a particular plan that you are referring to?

Please do tell us more about yourself in the newby section.

Take care -

Patze

For three weeks I have been following the "eat for life" diet, which basically is a vegan diet. I have been diagnosed  RA & Sjogrens for 3 years and I am on 70 mg of metheltrexate, Orencia, Plaqunel, and Lyrica. This diet has given me a lot more energy and I have lost 8lbs. I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck with  any changes in diet. It is not a cure but I do belive it really helps.
