I had the worst flare of my life in conjunction with food poisoning a week ago. Almost enough to make me forget about the gastro symptoms. When I googled to find out about whether food poisoning can trigger flares, all I could come up with was references to reactive arthritis/ Reiter’s syndrome — but nothing about what food poisoning does to people with existing RA, except for your experience. Thanks for sharing!

Aye! I’m sorry to hear about the food poisoning. Glad that you’re feeling better today, RA Guy!

Wow, what a bad day RAGuy. I hope you are feeling better today! Nice to have a comparison, though I dont wish that on you. I hope it stays in your head for the next flare – and that you feel stronger going thru it!

I have been fortunate to never had food poisoning but I understand it is awful. Steve had it once while on a work trip and ended up in his hotel room for 24 hours. Feel better soon.

Ironically, I’ve had the same experience this week. Kinda made the RA and ankle fusion take a back seat to endless trips to the bathroom…

Hope you continue to feel better soon
