Have RA, Taking Weightloss Supplements, Methotrexate And Enbrelloss. Loss Of Weight Ceased. Any Views?

Hi, I have RA and have been taking weightloss supplements containing spirulina since Oct 2012. I have noticed that the loss of weight has ceased and I now feel as if I am not on any medications at all! I take Methotrexate and Enbrel and have researched via Livestrong that Mtx and Spirulina are not compatible. Have you heard about this and if so what are your views. Thanking you in advance
