Diet for Septic Arthritis

Importance of Diet
Septic arthritis is a severe infection of the joint, typically due to bacteria, that necessitates immediate medical intervention (antibiotics, drainage, occasionally surgery). Diet has an ancillary function in:
- Boosting immunity to combat infection
- Decreasing inflammation and pain
- Promoting joint and bone healing
- Preventing malnutrition and weakness
(Diet is supportive and must go along with medical treatment.)
Goals of the Diet
- Supply immunity-promoting nutrients (Vitamin C, zinc, antioxidants)
- Support repair of bones and cartilage with protein, calcium, vitamin D
- Decrease inflammation with omega-3 fatty acids
- Stay away from foods that exacerbate inflammation or decrease immunity
- Stay hydrated and maintain energy
