CAN A SPECIAL DIET BE THE ANSWER?

Posted by grandmaR @grandmar, Apr 14, 2019

I have been on-line (of course) and I've been reading up on foods that can cause inflammation to autoimmune diseases.
I am attaching what I found.
Please know that I am NOT in the field of medicine or nutrition in any way.
Also, I am NOT advocating for any programs or products.
Just want to share what I found.
Use your own judgement.

Have a HAPPY SUNDAY!

Apparently you misunderstood. I do not eat Paleo. I have formulated my own diet.
When I became ill, my doctor of over fifteen yeas, sad he didn't see how he could improve on my diet. I just cut out any and all sugar and the occasional processed food and increased anti-inflammatory spices and herbs.

Thank you for the information.
Other than taking a very low does of amitritalin (spelling?), to go into a deep sleep, I've never taken any other meds for the Fibro.

I had horrible side effects when I tried Cymbalta. Intestinal distress, no appetite, lost 8 pounds, and was really sick for several weeks. I take Lyrica without problems, but I’m not really convinced that it is doing much for me. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia back in the 80s before a lot of doctors recognized it as a real disease. I am lucky. My doctor listens to me and is caring, kind, and thoughtful. The Fibro waves or flare ups come and go . Sometimes I am pretty down when I have a bad flare. Then suddenly I am well for a while and can hardly believe how wonderful it feels to be well. For those of you with Fibro, is that how your ups and downs work?PS I also have Raynaud’s and Sjogren’s

@elmay Hi welcome to our group of caring peopleS that is how my fibromyalgia flares go Never know when they are coming In going to a new rheumatologist May 1 see what he has to say Started in the 90,s with many me We are all fibro warriors .

My rheumatologist does not want to even discuss my fibromyalgia. He sent me to a neurologist. It is my family practice physician who has been the most helpful and understanding.

At present I have a new symptom. . . I am losing my sense of taste. Only the taste buds on the edges of the tongue seem to be working, and they are overly sensitive to acidic foods. What is going on? Does anyone else have this problem?

Good Morning,
No, I never had or heard of losing your sense of taste.
Have you started to take any new meds or supplements?
If so, one might be the guilty party.
Just a thought since I have no other suggestions.
Sorry!

Happy Weekend!
Ronnie

Thank you for these recipes. I have not been actually diagnosed with an autoimmune disease as of yet. The bloodwork came back suggesting Lupus. Unfortunately I cannot get into a doctor until mid January. Felt I should start an anti-inflammatory diet.
