Poppy04,

My sister just gave me information on food that helps with arthritis
she is in remission right now. She told me to eat lots of fresh veg. and fresh fruit, Fish, chicken. She told me to stay away from tomatoes of any find, and red meats. I have started eatting better and I can tell a difference if I eat to much tomatoe products. Also she said to stay away from pre process foods. Hope this will help you. there are also web sites regarding food and arthritis.
Take Care

I've been off all wheat products after a dietician recommended it for my RA. Didn't notice it helped until i went back on it for a day and got really ill. Apparently there's some links to RA and the way the bowel digests food so any of that yummy white bread or other processed and sugary foods is best to avoid. Anything is worth a try. All the best!

I have a friend with RA, so I've done a little online research and I've read that it's a good idea to stay away from dairy products. This particular friend is a butter and cream fiend and not willing to try going off dairy, but I wish she would because I think it has helped a lot of people feel better.

Unfortunately I have severe osteoporosis and need all the calcium I can get and dairy provides the best. Oh well! Can't win it all.
