Fibromyalgia mystery: If MSG and sweeteners stop, so

do symptoms.

Aspartame Articles

 

A very small study by the University of Florida offers promise of a

dietary treatment for the chronic fatigue and pain of Fibromyalgia.

Four women who had had Fibromyalgia for years, plus allergies (such as

allergic rhinitis and food allergies, for example), found that their

Fibromyalgia symptoms were nearly gone within a few months of

eliminating from their diets the widely used flavor enhancer MSG

(monosodium glutamate) and the artificial sweetener aspartame. MSG and

aspartame do not cause Fibromyalgia, explains a researcher, nor does

eliminating those items work for patients who do not suffer from

allergies. But for a disease that has no treatment, no known cause and

as many as 6 million (mostly female) sufferers, it's worth a try.
