An arthritis diet can often be as helpful as medications when it comes to fighting joint disease. Gout, an arthritic condition, is highly treatable through adjustments in one's eating habits. As with just about any condition, even just day-to-day life, what a person eat matters. People can get more valuable energy from certain foods compared to others.

Some people believe that certain foods are allergens, which can trigger rheumatoid arthritis. So by avoiding particular foods, a person can see a decrease in arthritic symptoms. Of course, since not all people have the same food allergies, there is no particular food to stay away from. Instead, there are foods that are not recommended as part of an joint disease diet. These include chocolate, additives, red meat, sugar, particular vegetables, salt, caffeine and certain dairy products. If it seems a particular food is setting off someone's joint disease, that food should be eliminated from the food plan and joint disease symptoms should be monitored. If symptoms decrease, there may be evidence of an allergic reaction to that food, triggering the joint pain. Just be sure not to completely abandon a whole food group. A person's food choice still needs to be balanced, even if vitamin supplements are needed.
