Fibrom.yalgia mystery: If MSG and sweeteners stop, so do

symptoms.

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.
