The diet you describe is basically the autoimmune paleo diet. It works.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and this diet keeps me mobile without meds.
It is not easy but is worth it.

Alan wrote (snipped): I recently discovered a book called "The Virgin
Diet". The book advocates basically a Paleo diet, but also addresses
food allergies/sensitivities. The 1st 3 weeks you eliminate the 7 most
likely candidates: gluten, corn, soy, dairy, eggs, peanuts and
sugar. (I actually haven't read the entire book so I'm not an expert,
but for sugar I think fruit is still OK and small amounts in things
like ketchup are still OK.) After the 3 weeks are over you have
challenge weeks which re-introduce one of these foods at a time, if
you want to, that is.
I've been trying this for a week so it's still early, but have had no
arthritis pain (or any other pain; I often get random abdominal pains)
since I started.
================================
Good suggestions, Alan. To the list of "no" foods I would add
NIGHTSHADES. They contain chemical compounds that many people cannot
neutralize, and the debris ends up in the joints and causes pain.
Nightshades include white potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, most pepper
(bell & hot---including cayenne---though not peppercorns), tobacco,
Goji berries, belladonna, and a few other things.
Weston Price website has some great articles on nightshades, including
why sensitive people should stay away from cayenne. You can do a search.
Best,
