    I don't think there's any one food, but lots of people swear by the mediterranean diet as an anti-inflammatory diet. There's also ginger and tumeric teas that you could try, but as far as I'm aware, the evidence is pretty limited for any food helping.

    Hi @geoffh

    Have you seen the link

    https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/your-experiences/your-questions-answered/your-questions-on-diet-and-arthritis/

    I hope you find it interesting. I don't know of any specific foods for late at night . I would be more inclined to take camomile tea or a similar calming drink.

    I hope our members come up with some tips for you.

    Best wishes

    Poppyjane

    bananas are very good at night time as they have potassium which is good for muscles...helps with stiffness and cramps

    @geoffh You are more likely to benefit from removing things from your diet, particularly things your particular immune system has decided it finds offensive. There’s a Zoe Podcast on this by a rheumatologist who talks through this research. Also see my posts elsewhere in this section re diet impact. I hope you are feeling a bit better since your post.
