gluten

Hi! I have been doing all natural with fiber- supplements, and major diet changes.. no gluten, little grains, no sugar, caffeine etc... It took a year, but finally was feeling amazing. My mind was clear, I had lots of energy, walking 20-30 miles a week, but then the holidays hit.... I hit a wall...

I was seen at one of the top hospitals in the US for my symptoms. I saw a rheumatologist, neurologist, infectious disease doctor, allergist, GI, and the pain clinic. I got what I like to call a 'non-diagnosis' of fibromyalgia. I tried a few medications that did more harm then good...

For my 21st birthday I didn't drink. I didn't go out. I sat on my couch the entire day because I was in so much pain. And I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. On top of fibro, I have asthma, IBS, GERD, urticaria, and chronic migraines. After the fibro diagnosis I was diagnosed with a TMJ...

I know the treatment options for FM vary a lot, and am wondering if anyone has found help with either yoga or tai chi? Even with this most recent flare of fibro, with a painful episode of costochondritis, I am trying to find other treatment options that are more naturopathic. For me fatigue...

Hello. I'm joining this forum to say hello and to offer my story on my recent use of Mucinex during a 10 day nasty cold virus. My history with Fibromyalgia - I have known I've had it for over 15 years and I have tried to manage through the pain and over the last year it has almost disabled me...

I was diagnosed in February with Fibromyalgia. The doctor put me on Cymbalta, a low dose due to sleeping problems. I am now in the process of weaning off of the medication. My liver enzymes are very high, and I don't drink. Doctor believes it is the medication. I was eating gluten and sugar...

Hi all fellow sufferers, I been in pain for at least 4 years, been going crazy thinking its all in my head. I finely told my Doctor I can't do this anymore. He looked into some "new" things for him and tested me for Fibro and send me to a Neurologist. And guess what? I am not crazy! Now I am...

First post here.. I searched and found a bit of info, but I'd like to get some recent feedback from others on their experiences. Background info.. symptoms have been present since age 15, about ten years ago, but nobody believed me since all the tests came back neg for 'real' diseases. I...

Title Should read: GLUTEN could be slowly doing us in, could be Faster than Slowly. If you are a cereal, bread, bagel person....even more so. I've done a lot to get off gluten products....Just listening to a doctor on my radio and he's going on and on about gluten. Personally I have NOT...

Looking at my figure you wouldn't be able to tell, but I hardly eat most days. I'm lucky to get an atkins bar or yogurt with grape nuts and MAYBE a dinner. If food is in front of me I'll eat it, but to make it myself, forget it. I did this HCG diet once that limited you to 1,200 calories. I...
