CHAPTER 6 Fibromyalgia & Your Diet

In 2001 an observational study was conducted to determine whether the effects of fibromyalgia syndrome may be improved with the use of a mostly raw vegetarian diet. The results were very encouraging and seem to indicate that such a diet can produce favorable results in relieving the symptoms in sufferers of fibromyalgia.

There have been other studies using a vegetarian dietary intervention of fibromyalgia which have also indicated the same general outcome as this particular study. There was an increase in well-being and improved quality of life with significant improvements in pain scores, less stiffness and an ability to go through the day feeling better. Because a raw diet is different and can be a bit more difficult to implement, the participants did not remain on the special diet after the study and reverted back to their former methods of lifestyle. Symptoms returned upon the resumption of their former diet.

Dietary guidelines for fibromyalgia patients may not suit all fibromyalgia sufferers. This is because symptoms of FM can vary considerably from one patient to another. For instance, some fibromyalgia patients benefit from a healthy low carbohydrate eating plan, (which is typically high in protein), while others cannot tolerate increased amounts of protein. As a result, it is recommended to refer to a nutritionist in order to achieve the best results.

Possible Dietary Methods to Improve Fibromyalgia

Some experts advocate various elimination diets to identify and avoid certain foods which may aggravate an individual's fibromyalgia condition. Other medical experts believe that central sensitization is a key factor and recommend a fibromyalgia diet without monosodium glutamate and aspartame, as they over stimulate the central nervous system's pain transmission function. here is a selection of various other approaches to relieving pain, fatigue, headaches and other symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Low Refined-Carb Diet

Many fibromyalgia sufferers claim to feel better when heavily refined sugar foods and drinks are eliminated from the diet. This is because heavily processed or refined carbs which are typically high in white flour or sugar - aggravate food cravings and fatigue by causing "spikes" or sudden surges in blood glucose levels. High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) leads to high levels of insulin in the bloodstream and can, over a period of years, lead to prediabetes, insulin resistance and full-blown type 2 diabetes. The best way to control cravings and fatigue in this way is to follow a low GI diet. These low GI diets recommend eating wholegrain carbohydrates with a low GI value.
