It is a common myth, in rheumatism to exclude tomatoes from your diet, as some believe that tomatoes are acid forming. On the contrary tomatoes are alkaline forming when they enter your bloodstream and neutralize the acid compounds in the blood.
Combine tomatoes with other foods and juices like carrot juice, beet juice, to avoid too strong reactions in your body, at the same time getting vital nutrients from the same.

Ayurveda contraindicates night shade family in case of Rheumatism. Thus not only tomatoes but potato, brinjal and capsicum are also forbidden. In addition, sour items cause more inflammation of joints and exacerbate swellings. Lemon and amala are exceptions to sour items.
