Our household includes one diabetic and one with Lupus. Understanding the inflammatory nature of some foods helps. Terry Wahls has a couple of books out, one with theory and one as a cookbook. Perhaps you can find a few recipes that make sense to you. Basically, avoiding processed foods, sugar and high fructose corn syrup and aspartame are key. Especially for fibromyalgia which is affected by food intolerances. Keep a diary for a few weeks to help identify them. A diabetic or Meditteranean cookbook also has good advice. We stay on the low glycemic side of foods. There is also the AIP diet if you want to change your diet entirely.

I appreciate your suggestions. I have heard the Mediterranean diet mentioned several times by different people, so I am definitely looking into that. I have a hard time with medication, the side effects are killer for me, always on the "baby" dose of everything I do take! So I only take those I have to have, basically blood pressure meds and prn meds for migraines.
Thanks for replying 🙂
