You : You obviously , for what you describe, have a number of dietary limitations , but there is no limitation as far as the osteoarthrtis is concerned . Osteoarthrtis is a degenerative disease of cartilage and although some benefits have been discussed in reference to the use of certain subtances such as condroitin and glucosamine among others , no definitive finding has been done up to now that justifies the diet adjustement . These are products are been used all over the world , the benefit of their use i still to be defined! , even though some information exists and tendency to benefit has been described i don t consider it enough, i have a very minimal contribution to give in the face of all the companies and all the interest that sorround these products.
