This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether two different eating patterns—a gluten-free diet or a Mediterranean diet—can help reduce joint inflammation and improve how you feel if you have rheumatoid arthritis. Over 12 weeks, researchers will compare these two diets against a control group to see which approach (if any) helps with disease activity, inflammation levels, and quality of life.
Many people with rheumatoid arthritis are looking for ways to manage their symptoms beyond medication alone. This study explores whether specific dietary changes might help reduce inflammation and improve overall well-being in people living with this condition.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: follow a gluten-free diet, follow a Mediterranean diet (rich in vegetables, fish, olive oil, and whole grains), or continue eating as you normally do as a control group. Over 12 weeks, you will have regular check-ins where researchers measure your joint inflammation, ask questions about your quality of life, and track what you're eating. The study will help determine whether changing your diet can make a real difference in how your arthritis feels.
