Is there a specific Mediterranean Diet for rheumatoid arthritis?

My doctor wants me to go on the Mediterranean diet for rheumatoid arthritis. Do you have a Mediterranean diet for rheumatoid arthritis?

elements of a Mediterranean-style diet, including vegetables, fruit, fish, dairy, and whole grains

There is no specific Mediterranean diet for specific conditions. You can simply follow the guidelines for getting started with a Mediterranean diet in our Mediterranean Diet section.
