I was surprised to learn on that page that RA can sometimes spontaneously go into remission. My mom's didn't; it was lifelong for her once she got it (early 40s onset, if I recall correctly) and the kind that eventually twists the joints, but just in her hands, as far as I know or that we knew.
As far as food goes, I blame sugar for everything, so that would be my first cut if I was looking to improve literally anything that felt wrong - but that's just me.

Sugar is actually the first thing I've been cutting out. Next will be wheat/gluten or a fast.
