Avoid the Foods that Cause Arthritic Joint Pain
It could be that arthritis is actually a host of food allergies. Or it could be that arthritis is just inflamed by common food allergies. We don't know, but it doesn't matter. You need to avoid a certain list of foods when you suffer from the joint pain and swelling of arthritis in order to live pain-free. Early on in the disease, you can live without arthritis drugs if you very carefully avoid certain foods.
Dairy Products Cause Joint Pain
Dairy is the most common ingredient that causes joint pain and joint swelling for those with arthritis. Most people are eating so many things that inflame arthritis that they never noticed the connection between joint pain and dairy. By avoiding butter, milk, cheese, whey and all ingredients beginning with "lact," the pain will lessen within a few days.
One trick when shopping for prepacked food in the grocery store is to look for the kosher symbol. There will be a U with a circle around it or a K with a circle around it. If it doesn't say 'dairy' with that little mark then you're good to go, there is no dairy in it. Rabbis will not tolerate any dairy at all in a product they certify to be free of dairy. In Jewish custom, dairy only means milk products, eggs are not considered dairy. There are many kosher symbols, but the circle U and circle K are the most common ones.
Known Joint Pain Foods
Here is a short list of the most common foods that cause joint pain and inflammation for arthritis sufferers: All dairy products, eggs, tomatoes, palm oil and citrus fruits. That is the short list. As you start to weed these foods out of your diet, you'll notice when other foods set off your joint pain right away.
Citrus Causes Joint Pain with Arthritis
You probably think it is easy to give up citrus fruit. You just won't eat anymore oranges or grapefruit, right? Wrong. Citric acid is a very common preservative and food flavoring ingredient. It is in just about every candy that isn't made of chocolate. It is in almost every packaged soda pop and juice. It is sort of everywhere. You'll need to start making your own candy at home.
Joint Pain Cause by Nightshade Plants
Nightshade plants are known for their poisonous nature and we eat the tomato anyway. However, if you have arthritis, you need to consider them poisonous because they do cause your joints to swell and inflame. You may have noticed this because your body is in a constant state of inflammation from many foods you're eating that cause problems for you. Once you clear your system out, it'll be very easy to identify problem foods. You will start to swell and have pain within an hour of eating them.
