JulieSusan Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 HI there everyone - I am on DAY 29 (yay) of my first Whole30 and have noticed some great improvements in energy and in my arthritis pain levels.( I have osteo arthritis) However, the pain is not gone, although it is better. What have you noticed foodwise that aggravate arthritis and joint pain? I do eat cashews, almonds and pistacio nuts...some tomatoes... any ideas out there of food that might be problematic? thank you!! Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinkse21 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Congrats on making it through the challenge! It's great that you have noticed a difference in your arthritis! I have Rheumatoid and around day 8 of my W30, the knee pain I had for over 6 months went away! However, I still had flare-ups in my hands. I didn't really pay too much attention to what was eating to see if that cause the flares....guess I should go back to my log and see if I can figure it out. You could try doing an Auto-Immune Protocol challenge as it eliminates nuts, nightshades (tomatoes, peppers...), ghee...Once you start adding those back in, you can see if they affect your arthrtis. I haven't been eating nuts or tomatoes recently and I'm kinda scared to add them back in in case they do cause flare-ups. Now Ghee, that's another story! Must have it even if I can't walk or use my hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieSusan Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hi there - I started feeling better around day 15 -- my hands were stronger/less pain -- but I have been having flare up...I think it may be tomatoes?? Or maybe it's just a flare up? (Btw, I felt pretty yucky the first ten days...) I do feel better yet I wonder if I can expect no pain, but more manageable pain. Compared to how I felt earlier in the year, it's dramatic. I will try the auto-immune protocol as suggested... Keep on with this regarding your fibromyalgia! Good luck and thank you both for your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
