Which diet does the magic trick for arthritis suffers

I have tried different kind of diets in hope that it would ease the pain from the arthritis. I haven't been able to stick to one specific. Sadly I need my candy day and diversity when it comes to food. But that doesn't stop me from looking up different diets that could be beneficial. Gradually me diet habits are getting more and more healthy. I eat whole foods, don't eat red meat, try to stay away from candy and sodas. Which is okay to do when I'm taking medicines for the arthritis. Now when I'm not taking any I think I have to do some drastic change in my eating habits. One thing is to try to find out what foods are triggering flares.  Other thing is learning to eat healthy even though I'm going out with friends or partying or something similar. I have to admit I find it so difficult to eat healthy and clean food when I go out with my friends or attending a party.

Back to the diets. I find it to say at least overwhelming to choose what diet should I follow. There are so many diet's out there that could be an aid to fight the arthritis. The problem is to choose one and stick to it.

There's the option going raw. 

or turning a vegan

Instead of vegan I could try to become a vegetarian 

Then there are the something-free diets like Gluten-free diet

This one, Sugar-free diet, I think is very important for people with arthritis to follow.

I have seen people recommending the Eat to live diet
This one I find a little bit scary, Food Elimination

Fasting, is something that I could do. People have been fasting for centuries  

There's this diet which I'm going to call alkaline

The Gerson therapy seems to be challenge to follow but I think could be very beneficial. 


At last but not least there is the macrobiotic diet. 


I'm leaning towards going raw and vegetarian. But I definitively have to a lot more research  on these diet to see what of those diet's seems to fit me and my arthritis.
