Question
I have heard that some foods, such as tomatoes, dairy products, red peppers agrivate Osetoarthritis. Do you know of any foods I should stay from. Are there any food supplements I should not take. I do take a lot of calcium with Vit. D. and eat foods high in those also. I have very bad arthritis in my feet and don’t know how I can help eleviate pain in them. This has happened since I had back surgery 3 years ago.
Answer
There are numerous unsubstantiated reports of various foods aggravating or relieving joint pain. None have been proven in clinical trials. The most logical thing to do is to stay away from foods if you really think they consistently aggravate your pain.
