many years ago that tea,... , and many other foods can cause the symptoms
Aaarrghhh ... as someone who can turn tea-drinking into an extreme sport (and represent my country at it, to boot), this is not good news.
What the heck are people supposed to do? Tea is full of anti-oxidants and hence supposed to be good for one; avocados are extremely high in calories and therefore will not help weight maintenance. As someone with a wheat allergy, I eat quite a lot of nuts and I love my home-grown toms (which contain a lot of potassium and hence good for hangovers).
From the article quoted by
HeliComparator ...
There is no specific diet for arthritis. Red meat is reduced and fish and vegetable intake is encouraged. In some patients aggravation by certain foodstuffs may be noted and advice is given to avoid these in individual cases.
Maybe my nut roast washed down with a cup of tea is safe after all and my banjo playing will not suffer (which may not be good news to everyone
)
Cheers
