I just heard from my friend that she has fibromyalgia but doesn't take medications to relieve her symptoms. Instead, she changed her diet and her symptoms have improved. She doesn't eat gluten, corn or dairy. I think she does this also because she has celiac, but it also helped with her fibro.
When my rheumy diagnosed me with fibro a few weeks ago, I asked her if there were foods I should avoid that would make my symptoms worse. She said tomatoes, peppers and spicy foods.
Just wondering if anyone else has found relief from changing their diet. I really don't want to eat gluten or dairy free. But it also sounds a lot better than being on strong meds.
Thanks and be well.
