Hi all, Re' diet for decreasing arthritis symptoms... It is quite well known that any foods in the "nightshade" family are considered one of the irritating or allergy response foods, that aggravates arthritis. This is re' arthritis in humans, I am not sure if the same would hold true for dogs whose disgestive system is much faster. I think these foods may me be more irritating to rhuematoid types (inflammatory) than the osteo' arthritis. That would include peppers as Rose mentioned, white potatoes (not sweet?) and eggplant. Chocolate, caffiene, alcohol, dairy, red meat, wheat, starchy veggies and there are others but those are the main ones that I can recall. Yes I remember pineapple is good for reducing inflammation, cayenne peppers is said to help with circulation to the joints, some people swear by Noni juice as being a benefit and I am sure there are many other homeopathics that are good too.
