There is a lot of argument on this subject. the first thing that we should remember is that there are more then 100 different forms of arthritis which are the result of different conditions in the body. every thing from wear and tear to chemical buildups such as gout (which is affected adversely by alcohol consumption) to auto immune system problems. However there are many sufferer of arthritis that will swear on a stack of bibles that wines, especially red wines make Arthritis symptoms appear worse. So it stands to reason that there may be something in the claim that wine is bad for arthritis. At present aside from gout, there is no real evidence that arthritis is affected by wine one way or the other. I have Rheumatoid arthritis and once thought that wine was bad for arthritis, however these days I drink wine within reason and have no more or less problems then I had when I was not drinking it. It may very well be a case of different reactions apply to different people. I personally think that an over simplistic connection between wine and arthritis was made because wine is acidic and people know that bones are made of calcium. acid eats away calcium, so it stands to reason that wine causes damage to joints. What they forget is that cartilage is not made of calcium and that the initial cause for the symptoms of arthritis is damaged or worn cartilage.
Some say it is others say no. however the evidence seems to point out tat there is no hard and fast evidence pointing to this.
It certainly is for Gouty arthritis, there is however no definitive evidence that alcohol is a problem for arthritis sufferers unless they are on medications that effect the kidneys.
there is no known effect
Alcohol does nothing to help arthritis. It is a huge mistake to use alcohol to ease medical problems. See your GP. Furthermore, any medication taken along with alcohol will have toxic / lethal effects. This is why health professionals are against alcohol consumption while on medications. There are no known beneficial effects from the use of any alcohol on the symptoms of Arthritis. in the case of gouty arthritis any alcohol is likely to exacerbate the problem especially those that involve yeast. on the other hand the odd drink is not a problem either for a person that has arthritis. However arthritis suffers that are on medications should be very carefully about their drinking habits as alcohol mixed with some of these drugs can lead to scaring in the liver or damage to the kidneys. So the upshot of it is alcohol is best avoided.
I doubt it, In any case there is no medical evidence that diet has any effect on arthritis, aside from gouty arthritis.
no. i don't know why it would be.
Some People swear by it However I have suffered From RA for many years and it did nothing for me.
It all depends on how bad the attacks are it can be anything from annoying to debilitating.
