fibromyalgia diet eat

Diet is very important for people who are chronically ill. Of course it is difficult sometimes for us to eat a healthy diet, because we are often too sick to cook ! Anyhow, I highly recommend this article by Garth Nicolson, Ph.D. "Dietary Considerations for Patients with Chronic Illnesses and Multiple Chronic Infections" http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?

but only in the last year take metformin ( 2x 1000mg) and spirnolactone (2x 100mg)- i have heard that low gylcemic index helps with that, i am allergic to fish, but eat beans, and occasionally eat chicken ( against eating animals) but some time i just crave meat. are enriched wheat products- ok to eat, i know whole grain is better.

What are the common symptoms of fibromyalgia of this illness? What kind of pain do we suffer from it?Which part of the body being attacked?

I was recently told by someone that works with fibromyalgia patients that a gluten free diet could lessen my symptoms. Just trying to figure out what has or not has gluten has been confusing and a bit discouraging. But I am willing to try it if it works. Has anyone tried it? What were your results?

I have Fibromyalgia, and have recently started to treat this through diet as advised by a private nutricianist I am seeing. This has had a very beneficial effect on my health. The diet involves removing all sugar, alcohol, simple carbs from my diet and eating something sensible every 2-3 hours to regulate blood sugar levels. When I keep to this diet I feel well and the symptoms of Fibromyalgia diminish and my blood sugar levels out normal.

Hello everybody , im fighting fibromyalgia, im not completly cured ,but I fell MUCH MUCH better, and the best part im not taking any kind of medicines.

Hi, I am wondering if fibromyalgia can be missed for years before being diagnosed? When I was a kid up until now I have always had muscle pain. Charlie horses, cramps, tingling in my feet & swelling. No doctor ever said anything to my parents or me. Now I'm 34 haven't been able to work for the last 4 wks due to muscle pain, cramps so bad I'm unable to walk, confusion so bad it interfered with my work, my immune system is basically null & void.

I am only 25 and have all the symptoms of fibromyalgia, CFS and MCS. I am unable to get out of bed some days but because of my young age my doctor is not seeming to take me seriously. He tests my thyroid and iron levels and many other things, but has not sent me to a fibromyalgia specialists. Also I have not been able to get disability cheques, so I am on government assistance:(. Does anybody more experienced have any advice for me? This can be quite stressful.

I find it very helpful to eat a whole foods based diet. This eliminates a lot of contradictions and cross contamination problems one will certainly encounter with the processed convenience foods. That and it seems that many on this forum are gluten and lactose intolerant, so those things seem to be the top things to avoid. Then, of course, the other things right up there to avoid would be the produce items in the nightshade family.

Following then onwards, I have experince pain trobbing at the back, in between the joint of knees, in between the hip joint, upper and lower both of the legs, at the joints of the arms, in between fingers, at the palm of hands and feet. Am i suffering from fibromyalgia? Do i need to do a full body check-up for diagnosis?

I have now seen the rheumatologist and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia can any advise me as to what help I can get as some days these pains can be life limiting am finding it hard to even peel potatoes need advice thanks

A test you can do with your mom is a strict diet for a week. The diet consists of no sugar allowed, no artificial sugar, no honey etc., no caffeine, no white flour, 5-6 meals a day that consist of 20mg or less of carbs and 10mg or less of protien. The carbs need to be complex carbs. For example; brown rice, triskets, wheat chex, whole grain bread. Drink only water, water with lemon, and herbal teas without caffeine. The protien should be chicken, turkey or fish.

How do food allergies affect MS symptoms? I'm trying to figure out if my diet is a factor or not. Thank you for your assistance!

Hello! I have been diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia, essential tremors, arthritis in the middle of my back and lower back spinal stynosis. I am now feeling like my head is swimming and I get unbalanced VERY easily. I have checked my blood to see if I am low in sugars, but it always comes out in the 90's which are normal levels. However, if I eat something I find things get better. I have tried to eat small meals throughout the day, but I am not getting better.

I was a cheerleader in high-school and remember when I thought 115 was huge. I was 135 when I got pregnant and am already 143lbs. I would eat and eat and eat at eight weeks! Just go for walks it helps.

I take enough because of fibromyalgia. Hopefully I can get some infomation on diet to help with estrogen level. Thank you, Janet This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/261416'>tamoxifin and tachycardia</a>.

I'm doing NAET and seeing great results for FMS. I'm curious, have you modified your diet and if so, what don't you eat? Any input is much appreciated.

In my late 30s i was so fed up of feeling ill all the time I had food intolerance testing performed and was told I was intolerant to gluten, dairy and eggs, I cut them all from my diet and felt much better but gradually reintroduced them. For a while I was fine but now the symptoms are back and I feel worse than ever.

For your age you need 1500 calories daily to safely lose weight. I would recommend a Heart Healthy diet which is a moderate fat diet. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.

I am 32 weeks and a small girl and i still do not eat more then i would regularly eat. I just make sure i eat often. And my weight is right on i have not gained too little or too much. I have a friend who is a bigger girl and her dr wanted her to gain 15 lbs max. She ate great and dieted during her preg and only gained 8 lbs and had a very healthy 8 lb baby.
