Fibromyalgia-Seven Things to Avoid-Part 1

how about splenda

I have always had a hypo-active thyroid, Diagnosed with RA/Fibromyalgia 5yrs ago. Before they hooked me up to the IVs, I took a different course. Changed my diet, no sugar, chemicals, meat, processed foods, or foods that I had sensitivities. No will power, if you feel better, you'll do what it takes. I took up yoga; practice today, every other day 1.5hrs.
In my 50s and people tell me that I have this lovely glow, or aura or something...health is; True beauty.
The good doctor speaks the truth.

i did this kinda diet a few yrs back and it works!!!! it's so hard to keep to it though! 99% of day to day food stuffs are bad for us, try it though!! just leave out sugar, wheat, carbs, msg's, junk foods (all)....if you don't feel any better within a week or two??? your not sticking to the diet!!! it's that simple....eat little and often, if you cut corners you'll suffer...free from and organic foods are better for all anyhow, the diet will be easier if the whole family joins in.. IT WORKS.

well.. going to try to avoid these now.. big aspartmente user.. with diabetes.. i use it in my oatmeal every am.... aslo big.. big. caffine drinker... so... msg.. dont eat much of that.. also have disk disease... and labeled fibro... also.. menopause.. which mimic's symptoms of fibro.. almost a yr without a cycle.. so.. we shall see if stopping all of these will stop this horrible pain.. thanks..:)

Sugar is sugar. Whether from a packet or a glass of orange juice.

Look, everything you eat eventually turns to glucose in your body. Don't shortcut that by eating things that quickly turn to glucose. Occasionally, eating a whole fruit (like a stone) fruit WITH protein is probably okay.

Oh, and... What about honey?

Same story.
Alternative non-chemical sweetener is Stevia.
