Hi Everyone,

I've shared with you before that if I eat sugar during the day I suffer for it that night with fibro pain and inability to sleep even with my sleep supplements.

I went to a chain restaurant and ordered sweet potato fries. They were so sweet and delicious! The previous nights I had slept fairly well but hours after eating the sweet potato fries, I began suffering for it.

Does anyone else experience increased fibro pain and difficulty with trying to sleep when they have sugar?

Thanks!

Haven't narrowed it down to sugar but I do have stomach issues and severe neck and arm burning with junk food. I was just diagnosed with Fibro so I am really going to write down my foods and begin to study my diet and how my body is reacting. Doctor just told me to exercise. No meds yet.

Hi Artist95,

I have to stay away from caffiene, sugar, high fat foods, unhealthy carbs, spicy foods, and acidic foods.

Yesterday I had a chinese lunch, thought I'd try eating shrimp and pea pods over white rice with soy sauce. It was so good and once in a while I feel I have to test myself. My stomach was very upset the remainder of the day.


Thanks for your reply.

I have a lot of stomach issues, and I find that I do much better if I avoid sugary foods. I have also found that eating a lot of sugary foods will cause my fatigue to worsen. I also have to avoid fatty foods, spicy, highly acidic foods, carbonated drinks, and anything with caffeine in it because of gerd. I also try to avoid anything containing artificial sweeteners, as these seem to bother both my stomach and fibro.

I find I can only tolerate one small sweet a day. There is so much hidden sugar in foods these days.
