Hello! Nutrition is very important, especially when a person already has certain health problems. A vegan diet is free of gluten and it is showed to improve the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. There were some researches that provided evidence that dietary modification may be of clinical benefit for patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. This benefit is most probably related to a reduction in immune-reactivity to food antigens eliminated by the change in diet.
