Hello and welcome @Purplelady43
I've researched diet a lot over the last few months and yes, there are lots of things you can get into your diet to help with managing your condition. Most of these have anti-inflammatory properties and include the following:
Omega 3 rich food sources such as oily fish and eggs
Dark green leafy veg like Broccoli, Kale and Spinach
Onions and Garlic
Olives and Olive Oil
Some are available as supplements too
Foods to avoid include refined sugary things and white flour based products
As well as helping reduce inflammation they can form part of a healthy balanced diet too, so a double-whammy and many of the vegetables are classed as "superfoods" in their own right.
Hope this helps
