@littlesassy Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We’re happy to have you and hope was can answer your questions. You asked about diet for autoimmune disorders. Many people swear by the Autoimmune Diet Protocol. I’ve not tried it so I can’t comment on its effectiveness.

As with most things, be sure to check with your doctor first. I have heard some people complaining about “leaky gut syndrome.”
You were diagnosed in July. Did you have symptoms for a long time before diagnosis? Have you been started on medication?
One more question: how did you find Mayo Clinic Connect?

Hi. It started with a sore wrist, which I had problems with that on and off. My wrist was getting better but I woke up one day to swollen hands and feet. I couldn't lift anything with one hand. My fingers aches and I couldn't make a fist. After a week I finally went in to the doctor. Blood work, X-rays and off to Rochester.
