Effect of Anti-inflammatory Diet in Rheumatoid Arthritis

In a previous exploratory study, the investigators observed an effect on disease activity outcomes of anti-inflammatory diet. The investigators also observed change in microbiome and circulating metabolites. The current study will determine whether or not the addition of anti-inflammatory diet improves the clinical outcomes in participants with rheumatoid arthritis, and the role of microbiome and circulating metabolites.
