so i was wondering what type of diet plan has helped anyone get some relief from fibro...i had heard so much about wheatbelly and so many people on the facebook page  with fibro and other pains have gotten alot of relief from going wheat free..so i tried it and even after almost 4 months i  actually feel a little worse :(   last time i low carbed i felt alot better..this time around with no wheat at all hasnt been good...so just curious if anyone else tried wheat free and what your results were

I have thought about it, my daughter is allergic to wheat so would be very easy for me to I just don't give my self enough to adjust to wheat free stuff. But I do know dairy puts me into a flair and if I am already flairing increases the intensity.

Not everyone is sensitive to wheat. Are you staying away from processed foods and all sugars and eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables?

I know dairy products and spicy foods and high fat foods send me into a flare along with sugared foods and drinks. Try to eat as healthy and clean as possible.

Good luck to you.

I try stay away from sugar and fast food or processed food. I have noticed when I eat correctly & balanced I don't have a lot of soreness & pain thru the day. I eat fresh fruit, I use George Forman grill for my veggies & eat chicken & fish. I'm not a big fan of red meat. Dairy I eat yogart. Drink 6-8 glasses of water. Now don't get me wrong I've slipped off the wagon and that's when my fibromyalgia and fatigue, aniexty & everything else comes back & I feel worst. Now I do detox my body 2 times a year. It really!!!!! Helps a lot with my medications working they way they should

I tried going gluten-free and all it did was take my constipation into overdrive. :( And I'd had such hopes!

It's been years since I've eaten much meat or fish - never craved them much, and never felt good about it. I don't overindulge in anything, because it always makes my stomach hurt. So keeping up my weight is now a chronic problem, something I never would have anticipated. I seem to be ok with cheese in moderation, but oddly enough, yogurt gives me a definite sick feeling - ? Nothing carbonated, causes bloating.

I could write a novelette here, but it probably belongs on the IBS forum. Getting back to your question, nothing I did or didn't eat ever changed anything other than how my stomach felt.

Debbie, have you tried sprouted bread like Ezekial bread and brown rice pasta?

For the stomach I take a probiotic in the morning and try to watch what I eat during the day.

I love greek yogurt and walnuts for an afternoon snack.

For my morning snack I do the healthiest tortilla chips and homemade guacamole.
