Suggest Medical Tests To Rule Out Arthritis

I believe I have arthritis from my symptoms and the research I have done on line. I have an appointment with a Rheumotoligist next week. 1. Can you tell me what kind of tests he can run to diagnose arthritis? 2. What kind of foods should I avoid? 3. Where can I find a daily diet plan that will help me loose weight and be beneficial for this condition?
