Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, can be problematic for some individuals with arthritis. This is because dairy contains a protein called casein, which can trigger an inflammatory response in sensitive individuals, leading to increased joint pain and stiffness.
If you suspect that dairy may be contributing to your arthritis symptoms, try eliminating it from your diet for a few weeks to see if your symptoms improve. If you notice a positive change, consider continuing to avoid dairy or opt for dairy alternatives, such as almond milk or soy yogurt, which are less likely to trigger inflammation. (8)
