      Cheese can cause arthritis flare ups

      When changes to the immune system are made in the human body (of which arthritis is one), the body often becomes sensitive to a protein found in whole milk products. Cheese seems to be one of the bigger triggers of arthritis pain.

      Nightshade plants can contribute to arthritis

      Some researchers feel that vegetables in the nightshade family are also culprits of heightening arthritic pain. Some common nightshades are; potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers. It is also worth noting that all nightshade plants contain nicotine, a substance also found in cigarettes. Due to this fact, I would not be surprised if cigarettes were also a culprit in worsening arthritis pain.

      Arthritis Trigger Foods

      Note your consumption of other foods such as shrimp, corn, beef, nitrates and wheat and evaluate if you feel they could be arthritis trigger foods for you as well. According to the research, many people with arthritis are sensitive to them. Be sure to visit the link in the resources section below this article to learn more.

Tips & Warnings

  • If whole milk is a culprit for you, you should consider taking calcium pills. Inquire with your doctor.

  • These are preliminary findings by research being performed by the People's Medical Society. I'm not advocating the cease of eating these foods but rather monitoring them as potential triggers for you as an individual.
