Foods Arthritis Sufferers Should Avoid for Better Relief

Go Gluten-Free if You Can

Gluten-free options are popping up more and more on grocery store shelves and restaurant menus these days. Why? Well, gluten is a protein found mainly in wheat, rye, and barley that can cause damage to the lining of your small intestine. While people with celiac disease are most affected by gluten, those with arthritis might also find that gluten can trigger inflammation in their body. Even health experts like Joy Bauer point out that both celiac and arthritis are autoimmune diseases, and they tend to show up together quite often.
