Fibromyalgia, a disease whose symptoms include chronic fatigue (regardless of the amount of sleep attained), muscle and joint pain, has no cause identified. It affects up to 5% of the population, and for the most part women.
With so many people afflicted with this disorder, I am amazed at the number of my clients who have told me that they had to see several doctors before one would actually acknowledge that fibromyalgia is even a health condition.
Not only did they often times not have the support of friends and family, they were then subjected to experts who, at best, summed the condition up to depression. They were then prescribed assorted antidepressants, all with dangerous side effects.
Theres nothing worse than knowing something is wrong with you and being told that its all in your head.
The correspondence I have received has been heart breaking, with the exception of the gratitude expressed by my clients over the fact that my Fibromyalgia program has helped them significantly.
Several have asked if there is something in their diet or environment that could be triggering this condition. Emerging findings shows that diet can, in fact play a very large role.
While diet is not thought to cause or even trigger fibromyalgia like say, migraine headaches, the growing belief is that fibromyalgia symptoms are worsen by other conditions which can be sparked or triggered by certain foods. Once these conditions decrease, the outcome is that fibromyalgia symptoms dissipate.
The thing to keep in mind is that fibromyalgia loves diversity. Just as not everyone is affected to the same extremes, there is no all-inclusive list of foods to shun from. The key is to take note of certain known foods that affect many with fibromyalgia and test to see if your condition is relieved over time as you test eliminate these foods from your diet.
Some foods experts now say to avoid are Aspartame and MSG. They are known to irritate certain pain receptors which for people who suffer fibromyalgia are already heightened.
Getting rid of caffeine from ones diet has also shown to work. While many are tempted to drink caffeine drinks for the pep, it can actually make fatigue worse.
Dairy foods also make the list, although this is debateable. Some think strengthened bones can actually ease joint pain.
Yeast, mold, gluten and vinegar are also included. This is thought to be because TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder), IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and migraines, all known to affect fibromyalgia symptoms, are initiated by these foods.
A macrobiotic diet (whole foods) has shown favorable for some fibromyalgia patients, as well as Omega 3 fatty acids (found in fish, flax see, certain nuts and also added to some foods such as cereal).
I also recommend you to try my Fibromyalgia program. Its outcome have been amazing!
