Note About Rheumatoid Arthitis and Foods
Various foods have been cited as making rheumatoid arthitis worse, but
this seems to be more an individual thing and there is insufficient scientific
research to confirm this. Such foods include potatoes, tomatoes,
bell peppers and eggplant. If you find these foods do affect
your condition, then eliminate them from your diet.
Also, dairy products, corn, citrus
fruit and wheat have been cited as producing a negative reaction
in arthritis suffers, but for the vast majority of people this is not
the case.
