Hi - if it helps, I've always been told by my homeopaths that anything in the nightshade family - potatoes, tomatoes, peppers/capsicum, aubergines/egg plant and tobacco - should be actively avoided.  Also, anything acidic can increase flare ups and I've been advised to limit eating red meat.  Fish is good - in fact, anything that's rich in Omega 3 and you could take fish oil supplements to assist in maintaining good joint mobility.  I take cod liver oil in tablet form plus multi-vitamins to assist in all round good health.   I have Juvenile Chronic Arthritis (am 38) and have found acupuncture to assist plus yoga is marvellous for helping to maintain mobility, strength and mental well-being; knowing that you have some movement at times when you may not feel that things are so good does wonders for your emotional health (or it certainly does for me).   All the best.
