Anyone with Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia or Hypothyroidism tried Keto?
Has anyone with chronic pain/fibromyalgia/hypothyroidism tried it? I am also interested in CBD oil stuff living in Wisconsin. Thoughts?

That’s the one. Thank you, much appreciated! 🤗
Thank you so Coleen,
I will keep you posted.
I do a highly customized vegan keto diet for my autoimmune issues. Mostly cleared up the brain fog, and made other symptoms more manageable. I'm so blessed. I have a background in nutrition, but was taught keto was bad. Had to relearn trial and error. I have medical allergies so diet needed to work.
My diet is low protein, I don't need to digest anymore of my muscle.
I ate clean before, but my body inflammation won't even let a single cheat happen, can only eat this vegan keto way now. I use smaller amounts quality bhb through the day, to stay steady.
Let's just say I don't eat out much, if I go out I order tea 😁
Managed to stay thsame weight for 2 years, which is unheard of in other diets, especially for less mobile person.
So only doing diet and supplements with glatect for ms, no physio or steroids.
If I miss a supp I seize up....
I should add that I have had a lot of muskolo skeletal symptoms, pain and seizing up, as well as neuropathy stuff. So a couple overlapping symptoms with fibro. I've heard that some doctors help rebalance neurotransmitters, I take precursors under doctor supervision in low doses to slowly tweak.
I tried Keto for about a month. I had to stop when the thought of eating meat and fatty foods began to make me nauseous…
WOW! Could you list foods eaten on the keto vegan diet?
I used to eat gluten-free vegetarian before I got sick, but had an immediate reaction to grains, carbs and dairy afterwards.
I have a background in nutrition, but it was pretty scary to try such a radical diet. They kept testing me for organ health and malnutrition etc.... and there was trial and error. The supplements have gotten better, luckily, in the past 2 years.
So, coconut, pea protein, and sunflower products plus Virgin oils.
I had reactions to vegetables and fruit sadly, so had to eliminate then add back one at a time.
Finding information about fodmap helped.
I did also have problem with GERD, didn't realize they could be such trouble...
Neurotransmitters and digestive hormones are the same. Never used to have any issues with stomach cramping etc... that's one of those neuromuscular symptoms 😕
Anyways they now have a name for something like my diet, called green Mediterranean diet. Duckwweed smoothies for dinner....
Maybe look into the blue zone diets as well, they're geared towards longevity.
A restrictive diet I had to have for awhile should have supervision. Follow keto macro ratios.
Good news is I can now add back a few things like berry powder, and moringa powder and garlic
I have been able to add and tweak supplements one at a time and watch the effects. They did make a difference.
Eg: lots of documentation on ALA for neurology, as well as NAC.
I was doing smaller amounts, but when the research about the doses came out I increased to the studied and approved higher dose for my condition. I find 3 to 6 studies before taking anything, and start low dose. I find the safest precursors as compared to fully formed hormones and substances.
Never thought I would get to use my university background like this 🤣
References page would be 50 pages long, and available Upon request, with appropriate fees for 2 plus years of research.
So, green Mediterranean diet following keto macro.
If you can do soy, then there's tofu.
Also tahini, nuts , seeds, greens. Zucchini, spices, any small amount of anything you can tolerate within the keto macros, then make something with cocunut milk with added fat with your moringa or matching tea. Omega 3 oils like olive oil...
Duckweed, moringa, other green powders
Please follow the advice of a practioner for your specific case. Always have medical supervision.
Focus on high quality hydration with all the hydration salts.
Sipping smaller amounts so as not to overproduce stomach acid.
I also put vitamins and supplements and eeas and ketone as clean as I can find in various drinks, add taurine cause it's helping
Where can I get more information on hydration salts, eeas and ketone? Thank you for responding!
Oh my gosh.... there is so much in there it's hard to process it all! I pray you are doing better and commend your fortitude!! Stay strong!
