There are a lot of people that firmly believe there is a connection between what we eat and how we feel. 

There are some people that after eating somehting feel a disconfort or the fact of eating a specific thing makes them feel better.

I invite you to share all your diets, recipes and tips you might have :)

Best,

Gilda

This is a difficult one. One day I will eat/drink something & I will be fine. Another time I will have the same things & I will have stomach pain & be running to the loo all day. I also suffer with diverticulitis/hiatus hernia/osteo arthritis as well as fibro.

Well I don't have any special diet either but trying to eat healthy. I don't feel well after having eaten fat food like burgers or too much cheese or fat meat, sauces etc.

I guess my stomach doesn't accept this type of food which is good cause it forces me to take care of what I eat and drink.

Hello everyone,

How are you today? I thought I would revive this older discussion as we've published a new article about fibromyalgia and diet: Fibromyalgia: Which foods to choose to ease symptoms?

Have you noticed that certain foods affect your fibromyalgia? Has your doctor or anyone else recommended that you adapt your diet? And if you've changed how you eat, what have you tried? Has it helped?

@Ombliss22 @lisa.staley @Kate44 @HelenHarper @Sammimo @jinksy @Katyloubee82 @Margy60 @KymPaterson @Mandymoo5467 @Maryquitecontrary @Foxxxxy @Kezza3511 @Janineholland @Pebbles113 @MrsMelSerag78 @Mckkirby

Don't hesitate to share your experiences and tips with us here!

Take care,

Courtney

I can eat certain foods one day with no ill effect it another day it triggers my IBS. I am also a diabetic so I am careful with sugars and carbs.
