Fibromyalgia Diet Nutrition

Early on it must be stated that there is no single fibromyalgia diet and nutrition that can plug all the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Each patient trying on a diet should really look into the foods that he or she ate before the occurrence of his or her symptoms. That's where a working fibromyalgia worksheet can help you: track your diet and avoid foods that you think might have triggered your symptoms. But, nutritionists working with fibromyalgia patients for some time now have discovered some foods considered as general irritants and those considered as helping fibromyalgia patients.


Foods that are high in monosodium glutamate (MSG) and aspartame (artificial sweetener) are found not helping fibromyalgia patients. The glutamate in MSG and the aspartic acid in aspartame are known to stimulate the pain receptors in the central nervous system. Fibromyalgia patients are already extra sensitive to pain so that stimulating these pain receptors could only do more harm.

Fibromyalgia diet and nutrition also looks into the foods that are considered to be as general allergens. These are: eggs, grains, nuts, dairy, and red meat. If you're diagnosed with fibromyalgia, your doctor might ask you to avoid these allergens at once. Then after a while, you can slowly add them to your diet one by one. If you notice your symptoms appearing after eating any or all these allergens, then it's no good having them in your diet anymore. Other foods to avoid are those high in sugar, chocolates, alcohol, and those that contain caffeine.

Anti oxidants, is there anything they can't do? Fibromyalgia patients are found low on anti oxidants in their system. So injecting these much needed minerals and compounds on your system can be life changing. The fibromyalgia diet and nutrition is always loaded with fruits and vegetables that are full of vitamins and minerals and known anti oxidants.

You must remember, however, that a diet may work on one patient and maybe totally useless to another. A working fibromyalgia diet and nutrition is custom fit to each patient.
