Common Questions and Answers about Osteoarthritis diet supplements
osteoarthritis
If you have osteoporosis, I think it is best to take the medication prescribed by your doctor. Supplements and herbal remedies are not approved by the FDA. I have not seen any studies to indicate that this is an effective alternative. While this may be beneficial, I would think the treatment plan would be the one your doctor prescribes.
I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?
Hands are so painful and some fingers distorted,feel broke. Was told just a bad case of osteoarthritis. I can't even make a fist, my fingers don't bend. They get worse every year. Why can't I take meds for rheumatoid,,why do I have to have joint damage. 2rheumatologist told me that the meds aren't made for my kind of arthritis. Do you have to have the factor in order to be diagnosed with rh. My hands resemble rh hands. What's going on.?
Everyone is different, so whatever works best is what works best. Apple cider vinegar regulates the acid/alkaline balance in the digestive system, and much of what we think we know from it is from a couple of historic figures whose claims can't be even found, yet alone proven, as far as anything else it does. Glucosamine and chondrointon are actually part of healthy connective tissue, so that's the theory behind taking them.
one suggestion was a low-fiber diet but the dietician i was referred to was completely unable to tell me exactly what that was. another suggestion was o soft diet. does that mean just eat anything and grind it up like babyfood or is it foods that become soft or are soft naturally such as jello & ice cream? where can i find an actual diet to follow?!!! i'm sick & tired of being sick & tired.
m not all too familiar with arthritis, but if I were in your shoes, especially with a family history of arthritis, I would focus on the right diet and supplements to help joint health. Vitamin D is really key, too, for bone and joint health. Most are deficient and doctors here in Canada are recommending everyone take 1000 IU supplement a day. Best of luck and these days, I think a lot of doctors aren't generally into preventative medicine.
I am using Omega 3,6,9 oil, probiotics, magnesium and B vit supplements. My son is improving, but I can't say it is down to these suppliments. This are just things that have been recommended by a nutricianist. But if I have not given him these things for a couple of days he usually seems more 'spaced out' than usual. On top of that I try to give him a wide variety of good quality foods. I tend to cook most days.
Instead of going for supplements, try eating Fish like sardines, mackeral & salmon which are rich in Omega 3 fats & lowers LDL/Triglycerides & increases HDL.
You can also eat walnuts & Flakseed. These have worked wonders for me.
I had a CABG done 4 months ago and I have made sure that my HDL & LDL levels are with the required parameters.
But an analysis of studies looking at glucosamine or chondroitin for osteoarthritis in the hip or knee did not show that these supplements slow joint destruction or relieve pain. It's kind of gone by the wayside. It was found to not be the wonder supplement it was once thought to be. Multiple studies revealed that they will not help you more than a placebo.
However there are still ppl that swear they help them.
I take this supplement called JOINTSNKNEES , for my osteoarthritis . Its been really helpful , as i felt great relief in a very short period of time. Amongst all the supplements i took i found this most effective . It has green lipped mussels and 5 Loxin which is supposed to be great for joint pain and arthritis.
There isn't one. There are too many factors, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, her over all health, sun exposure, kidneys, etc.....
Now I say this, because most people take in calcium with their vitamin D. Milk, dairy, etc However, many supplements also include calcium with the Vitamin D.
Most daily supplements, like Centrum Silver contain enough Vitamin D to be beneficial to the elderly.
but i take most of these things in my diet and eat alot... but nothing is working for me..!!! does food supplements have any side effects ?? please help..
m looking for any supplements you all have used with success. I give him sub q fluids every other day and all the symptoms he was having are now gone (although we do still have to go potty at two am, I'm chalking that up to his old man bladder). He's had the same vet since he was born but he recently retired. My first visit to the new vet yielded all this so I really have no way of knowing how long this has been going on..
There is evidence that olive oil can help reduce inflammation much like cherries are purported to do. There are many supplements on the market that claim to help but are untested by the FDA. Before you add any supplement or herbal remedy to your regime, please talk to your doctor.
Has anyone that is Hypothyroid had success with iodine supplements. I read pro's and con's but I am frustated and willing to do a little experiment.
