When I was a teenager I was allergic to up to 40 different foods! I went to a doctor whe specialized in food allergies and had all the skin pricks to see what I was allergic to. I am thinking that maybe all those foods i was allergic to might have helped contribute to the fibro. I will check out the website. Thanks!

OK, the book that is greatly helpful if you want to try the Guafensen(sp) regimine is "What Your Dr. May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia"

I just bought another copy for my local Dr so she can understand and help me better as well as others.

Yep, I MUST TELL THIS. ROFLOL This Dr. studied FM for 40 yrs to determine this diet....ROFLOL I figured it out on my own in 1 yr as I am living this mess.

Basically, fruits, veggies, low carb (NO BREAD FAMILY STUFF!), fish, chicken (lean). The book explains that the carbs cause the body to elevate and store acidity and this makes the pain/etc. elevate

I am on guai. You need to make sure to eliminate all SALICYLATES from your topical lotions/products.

The diet is for those that are glucose intolerant. I am gluten free, so carbs are limited w/my diet anyway.

My doctor had me test my saliva ph for a few weeks to see if i was acidic. I was 5.0-6.0 NOT GOOD

I use alkalife drops in my water (you can get them the cheapest on Ebay) and try and eat a low acid high alkaline diet.

Check out www.FibroFix.com, anne hillebrand, she has a very good explanation on her site.

Wish you luck, hugss San
