Eliminating Foods for Neuropathy pain

Posted by avmcbellar @avmcbellar, Jul 20, 2019

I have tried doing without certain foods and drinks containing caffeine and have discovered it helps me to lower my neuropathy pain to a level that is tolerable. It is not easy to eliminate chocolate, tea, and coffee from my diet.

For me stop sugar, has meant eating as little sugar as possible (what can I say, I love chocolate and cookies!). When buying something, I always read the ingredients label and try to buy the one with no added sugar or a lower amount of sugar. I have stopped all soda pop but will sometimes have a diet soda instead of coffee or tea if I'm eating out. It is a little difficult sometimes because a lot of processed foods contain extra sugar so I try to eliminate as much as possible for me.

Think how easy it must have been for folks 100 years ago when they didn't have this too much sugar problem. I think some of us struggle a little more than others but whatever you can do to reduce your sugar intake is a plus in my non medical opinion.

On diet soda be very careful about aspertain! In most Diet Coke etc and is instant pain boost for many! Watch lemonades too - lots of ‘diet’ foods !
