Sunday Jul 14, 2019
- Laura started having symptoms of RA 5 years ago at 24
- Three years later, after having her daughter, she had a massive flare-up
- Having had stomach problems since she was 16, she made the connection between her symptoms and diet although doctors were of different advise
- She researched and found about Dr. McDougall and Dr. Greger early on, and that helped reduce the symptoms in the early stages
- After the RA diagnosis (seropositive RA with elevated anti CCP) and with a rheumatoid factor of about 300, methotrexate and sulfasalazine were suggested as a therapy
- Antibiotics for a bladder infection worsened the situation, and a specific restaurant meal exacerbated her symptoms, leading her to reconsider her diet once again
- After additional research Laura found about the Paddison Program and started it immediately with astonishingly good results
- Now she is almost completely pain-free with CRP under 1, without taking methotrexate or other drugs
