This study is looking at whether a probiotic called Align Extra Strength Probiotic Supplement (which contains 5 billion live bacteria per capsule) can affect people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Researchers want to see if this probiotic can successfully colonize (grow and live) in your gut. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have had RA for more than 6 months, and have been on stable RA treatment for at least 3 months. The study plans to enroll 50 participants. The current status of the study is unclear.
