Sorry that nothing you have done is working yet for your RA. I have heard of some people still having trouble with other grains (that are usually okay for gluten free), but I am not thinking that rice and rice pasta were part of that...i will have to review that material again........
I hope you find your solution!

Wow, I really appreciate all the responses!
I have been gluten-free for more than 6 years, the RA showed up last May, so that's not it. I have done elimination diets hoping to find something else that is causing me problems; elimination of nightshades had no effect; I am currently not doing any dairy (although it causes me no adverse symptoms), and I have eliminated all sugar, including all fruit, to only mild improvement. I have heard about the gin-soaked raisins, they are sitting ready on my countertop, but I am afraid to try them because of the high sugar content. Also, my N.D. said he thought they might help arthritis because they contain MSM, a compound I have already tried.
I eat lots of meat, veggies, broth, and naturally fermented foods. I don't know what else to do with my diet, except the fast-5, which I'll probably continue even it it doesn't help, since it feels right. Actually I was thinking of going grain-free, unfortunately it feels hard to me, even though the only grains I eat are white rice and rice pasta. I have tried numerous supplements, too many to count, so far nothing has helped. I would love suggestions, though, as I am open to almost anything to stop the pain.
I had heard about apple cider vinegar, thanks for reminding me--I'll try that! And the alpha lipoic acid, I haven't tried that either.
I guess I was hoping someone would say, "Yes, I had RA, and it was gone after 6 months of fast-5!". Too much to hope for, huh?
