By this time you may have noticed increased relief from the pain and inflammation regarding your fibromyalgia symptoms if you've been incorporating useful ideas from this blog. The elimination of preservatives and additives are the first importance as research as shown the possibility of our systems being overloaded with toxicity from eating the foods that are advertised to keep us healthy. A regimented no preservative or additive diet can bring immense relief to many sufferers.
Further elimination of wheat and gluten may have been an additional added benefit to your diet routine. As many as 85% fibromyalgia patients have wheat or gluten sensitivities. Certain chemicals in the foods you eat may trigger the release of neurotransmitters that heighten this sensitivity. Although this diet can be rigorous, the added addition of pain-free days is well worth the effort.
Another food you need to eliminate for two weeks is dairy. Many fibromyalgia sufferers have trouble digesting milk and dairy products. However, once you finish the elimination, you may find that raw dairy products, especially from grass fed organic sources, are well tolerated. Be sure to take your Cal Mag supplements while doing this to ensure you meet your calcium, magnesium, and zinc requirements. After two weeks, begin by adding one dairy product into your diet. Eat this same dairy product for two days to ensure there are not reactions.
Symptoms of Dairy Intolerance include:
* Gastro-intestinal: Diarrhea ; Constipation ; Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) ; Stomach bloating,
