Avoiding sugar is important. My rheumatologist says a lot of her patients say not eating sugar helps.
Along those same lines, extra virgin oil contains properties similar to ibuprofen. About olive oil from the Arthritis Foundation: https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/nutrition/healthy-eating/olive-oil-benefits-arthritis However, eating some olive oil while continuing to eat cakes, colas, and candy probably won't help a lot. |

My mother has used it for 20 years and swears by it. She stopped taking it and the arthritis pain came back |

I have arthritis in my feet and take a collagen supplement daily - like another poster said, if I stop for a week or so, the pain returns like clockwork. OP, I use Vital Proteins brand collagen peptide supplement in the blue container- I can often find it at Costco, and it is widely available at Amazon, Target, WF, etc. I take the full dose (4T) via mixing 2T/cup of coffee. |
