@emmar21 Welcome to Mayo Connect! There are a lot of us here with similar ailments that are looking for answers.
You didn’t mention what type of flares you have.
I agree with you that you should postpone your elimination diet until you see the Rheumatologist. Just continue as usual to avoid confusion.
Please report back after your visit! We all learn from each other.

Thank you for your advice on waiting on starting the diet. I will hold off until after my appointment with the Rheumatologist.
My flares consist of the left side of my face swelling, my fingers and toes will swell and my joints will be stiff and achy. I get short of breath and my heart rate elevates. I also have tiny bumps on my upper arms and back that will get inflamed and become itchy(but they’re not hives) the bumps are always there. I also struggle with some GI issues. These are the most prominent symptoms when I have a flare.
