Is anyone else managing small fiber/peripheral neuropathy with diet? I am on the Auto Immune Protocol diet and wondered if anyone else has done that or how it went. I was recently diagnosed with Small Fiber Neuropathy. I have numbness, tingling and burning in the feet and fingers, with some loss of balance. I am 65.

Hi @ebero, Welcome to Connect. I do think diet is important when it comes to neuropathy, especially the elimination of sugar, processed foods and limiting carbs. I haven't looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet but thought I would share this link for others who are looking for more information on the diet:
--- AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) Diet: A Beginner's Guide: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/aip-diet-autoimmune-protocol-diet.

There are a couple of other neuropathy diet related discussions you might find helpful while you wait for members with experience to respond:
--- Small Fiber Neuropathy: Is there a special diet I should be on?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/small-fiber-neuropathy-10/
--- Eliminating Foods for Neuropathy pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/neuropathy-pain-1/.

I am not on a specific diet but have made changes to eat healthier which I believe has helped some with my neuropathy although I don't have pain with my small fiber peripheral neuropathy. I just have the numbness.

How long have you been on the Autoimmune Protocol Diet? Have you noticed any difference in your symptoms?
