Amy,
As a believer of Paleo and Robb Wolf I was thrilled to read Emelias story. My husband volunteers with the Arthritis board here in Birmingham,Al. , so we are somewhat familiar with the dz. And what it can do to a family. I think this story needs to go in front of the National Board. Americans need to be informed of the great benefits of this way of eating. We hear too many stories where children can’t get out of bed, can’t go to the bathroom,because their joint pain is so bad. My husband was just in D.C. Encouraging congress to not cut spending on research for arthritis. I want to know what Emelias Rheumatologist has done with these findings. The word has to get out there!
Allis, You’re right! The word does need to get out there! I am going to let Tabitha (Emelia’s mom) answer your question about the Rheumatologists reaction to her awesome recovery.
Hi I’m Emelia’s mom, I have not come across this story in so long. Rereading it has brought tears to my eyes. Emelia is still doing great. She is a 15 yr old girl now who does like to eat things that aren’t that great for her (esp donuts 🍩🤭🤷🏻♀️) and with that being said she did have to get back on medication from time to time BUT as soon as she cleans up her eating and adds in good clean vitamins (no she isn’t not on juice plus anymore) she gets off her medication. Nutrition and gut health is key here when you are dealing with most health issues but especially a autoimmune disease. She played on the high schools JV Volleyball team and is playing Rec League Softball and is a starter for the Varsity softball team at her high school. All these years we have kept her active in sports because I think the more you keep moving the better it is for these kids. I notice when she has down time for months, like with Covid she starts to stiffen up. Anyone wanting to reach out my email is [email protected]
Thanks for the followup Tabitha!

Can i please get more details about this diet. where can i find more information on this? Can you please provide what diet you gave to your daughter morning, lunch, snacks and dinner.
