There is no single diet plan to treat
fibromyalgia, and the same foods may
relieve symptoms in some patients while
aggravating those in others.
Every fibromyalgia sufferer needs to check
for certain foods if cause any worsening
of symptoms and may need to adapt her or
his diet accordingly.
Have you noticed worsening of you symptoms
after eating certain foods?

Food and diet are a factor i think in a
lot of medical problems. I know that if i
eat a certain way things are worse and if
i eat a different way things are
different.
I did a little searching and here is what
i came up with.

Im hoping that this will help.

glutimate(msg) at all costs.

To overcome fatigue and to feel better you
can try to avoid:
high fat dairy foods, fried foods,
chocolate and white sugar and white flour,
coffee, cigarettes, carbonated beverages,
red meat (especially salt cured, cured
bacon, smoked, or nitrate cured).
Don't forget to drink at least 8 glasses
of water a day.

thyroid as cause of fibromyalgia
Posted: 01-26-08 14:02pm
|
|

The thyroid is the cause of almost all
physical and mental problems.. This
condition takes a lot of research and
after 31/2 years I am still finding out
new things. Doctors don't treat to a low
enough level to eliminate all the
symptoms. You cannot go by the TSH test
you should be treated to where you feel
the best regardless of what your TSH is.
Don't let them tell you the old "your're
going to be hyper trick". They will tell
you anything to keep from treating. Some
do not even know about the thyroid as it
is no longer being taught in some med
schools. An alternative or holistic
practioner is your best bet. Good luck.

Some researchers believe that FM is caused
by dysfunctions of the thyroid.
However, it's clear that thyroid problems
appear to be certainly associated with FM.
Many FM patients, also, suffer what is
called mild hypothyroidism (fall into the
"low normal" range and are struggling
along without prescribed thyroxine because
they are deemed "normal" ; a person may
well fall within the "normal" range of TSH
and thyroid hormones, but what is "normal"
for one may not be for another).

Drinking alcohol in the evening may
adversely affect the quality of sleep,
increasing symptoms of fibromyalgia such
as fatigue and pain.
Fibromyalgia patients should avoid alcohol
completely when they are getting treatment
with pain killers and muscle relaxants.

GOING RAW
Posted: 04-21-08 13:37pm

I have heard from many that going RAW has
helped them enormously. I have also that
even just trying to eat more RAW helps as
well. I am currently looking into it all.
There is a great book called The Raw Food
Detox Diet. It seems easy enough to get
started and helps you understand once must
not go 100% RAW to see the benefiets of a
RAW diet

Oh goodness no.  I did think the
same thign though. It means you go vegan -
meaning you eat nothign from animals. No
meat, milk or eggs. Then goign raw is one
step further and not cooking anythign
above 118 degrees.
A good resource is the book - The Raw Food
Detox Diet

Fibromyalgia and Collagen
Posted: 06-26-08 06:23am

I have noticed that I feel much better
during pressure changes in the weather
when I take collagen everyday. My muscles
don't ache as much and I don't feel like I
was run over by a truck.
I do smell smoke though on and off, and
understand that other FM patients do too.
