Well, this will also depend on the type of arthritis..
If it's osteoarthritis, it may respond differently to foods than one of the inflammatory autoimmune types like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis or Ankylosing Spondylitis....

Disclaimer: all this is my personal experience with autoimmune arthritis...

Some people swear certain foods make their arthritis worse. For me, if I drink some types of alcohol, my fingers swell up and I get stiff. Certain red wines are the worst for me.
If I don't eat my fruits and veggies, I start to flare up. It's really been about a balanced diet. Not too much excess in any area.

For me, the nightshade family has no impact on my body (yay--I LOVE tomatoes).
