Hi everybody!

I just posted a response to a question by angel who was asking about natural treatments for fibro. I posted a link there if you want to go and look at it, but I've found another one. Something clicked for me as I have felt so tired this week, like I haven't felt before, but I've been eating heaps of fruit. In the link I'm about to post, acidic foods are discouraged. Guess I'm about to re-jig my diet even further! I hope some of you will be encouraged to try dietary intervention. It works.

PS. I have no pecuniary interest in either of these sites. I only want to help us all feel better!

Thank you for the post. I have celiac disease so diet is important. The dietician said to avoid "white stuff." Good rule of thumb. I've heard a lot about choosing a balance of acidic and alkaline foods also. I wish I could remember the link. I printed a list somewhere ? Fibrofog....

I battle Gastroparesis/ Crohn's disease as well as gluten insensitivity. I still have pain, but I also have less need for pain meds since I was forced to change the kinds of foods I eat. I also try to eat as natural as I can, staying away form preservatives and dye as much as possible . Most people dont realize that chemicals in our food can cause pain as well..

Thanks for the info

I've been so well since changing my diet to organic and non-processed...Been flu-like for 3 days ....my only "clue" is the couple of peppermints I toss in my mouth when at my husband's desk....his peppermints have red dye...mine do not.

Thanks for the site.

Sad for me, looks like what my food intake is now. But will at least give it a try!

I gave up simple sugars and it made a big difference in pain and fatigue levels.

Hi Pammyann,

when you say you gave up simple sugars, do you mean just junk food or anything with sugar in it? Did you also give up sugar substitues?
