I was recently diagnosed with ReA. I have been on 30mg of prednisone for about a month now. I can barely walk most days and am in a TON of pain!

I've been reading the hypothesis that food allergies are really to blame for ReA flare-ups. I am so desperate to try something besides the steroids! (Sulfasalazine and methotrexate will begin in a week or so.)

Q: Can I do a juice fast while I'm on steroids? Will it be effective? Any advice out there? I DESPERATELY need to get off the steroids.
