Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Just a quick question for everyone out there that suffers from Fibro with Migraines. How many of you drink diet soda's or energy drinks or carbonated water? I was listening to Dr Cynthia Olsen, a Naturpathic Doctor who specializes in Fibromyalgia and discussion about nutrition, and becoming a " food detective " to determine which food " triggers " attacks. She said to consider avoiding the following; Dairy Wheat Eggs Sweets Citrus Soy and Nitrate family of vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and peppers(green, yellow or red) Also mentioned that we need to really watch the food we eat especially that contains msg. This website tells ALL the names of msg. http://www.msgmyth.com/hidename.htm About a month ago I was watching 700 Club on CBN and they were talking about the dangers of msg and how the food industry is now labeling other than msg so that people will buy their products thinking it doesn't have msg in it. I personally have had a terrible reaction to artificial sweeteners especially Aspartame, I lose 95% in my left ear! Luckily it comes back after 3-4 days but I have to be really careful about what I am eating. So if you suffer from really bad ringing in your ears, and you drink diet soda's or chew gum you may want to consider eliminating from your diet to see if it improves. Show of hands anyone?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 A conventional termed me as having " Fibromyalgia " years ago. While at the time, I was happy to FINALLY have a " diagnosis " It was basically left at " take these meds " and you may be put on disability. Yep, that is when I walked out of the office and never returned. I refused to believe that this is all that there was. Down the line...I found that my body was toxic and really needed to be cleansed and some TLC to regain balance. I had so many nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances for not treating my body right and conforming to SAD. Between that and the meds I was put on, Candida was also a big issue. The chemical sensitivity, I believe, was my body telling me my liver was overloaded. My brain fog, I believe yet again, was Candida along with a host of other symptoms. The elimination diet, told me that I was allergic to wheat and then to find out that I shouldn't be eating it for other reasons makes sense. The muscle aches and pains I contribute that to low minerals esp Magnesium and antiox selenium. All along I kept thinking all this had to be related...and it was. Listen to your gut...in more ways then one! Blessings, Tara dawnmms <dawnmms wrote: Just a quick question for everyone out there that suffers from Fibro with Migraines.
