A word before the food

No diet cures inflammatory arthritis, and no diet replaces medicine. But what you eat does affect inflammation, weight, uric acid and how well you tolerate treatment — so it's worth getting right. These guides are written for the food actually on Indian tables, and they follow the evidence rather than tradition or fashion. Discuss any big change with your rheumatologist, especially if you have diabetes, kidney disease or are on steroids.

Food, plainly

"What should I eat?" is the most common question in the clinic — and the one with the most confident wrong answers from family, neighbours and the internet. These guides give you what the evidence says, built around Indian food, so you can eat well without guilt and without giving up the foods that actually help.
