Any good foods to eat to help with fibromyalgia pain?? |
I have had fibromyalgia for several years and seems to worsen as I get older. Are their any good foods out there that help with the pain and any other suggestions? I have fibromyalgia also. Cherries have anti-inflammatory properties, I eat a lot during the summer when I tend to have more pain. Generally foods full of antioxidants, like colorful fruits and veggies, teas, fresh squeezed juices help rid the body of toxins that exacerbate pain. High fiber foods purge and cleanse the digestive system to prevent extra gas and toxins, try the above as well as whole grains like oats, brown rice. Emu oil is a surprisingly effective anti-inflammatory as well as many other uses, I've been trying it for the last month with excellent results. My best sources of relief were custom-made herbal blends and accupuncture. Look for an herbalist in your area who can evaluate you holistically rather than symptomatically. Some people with fibro feel better by avoiding sugar, dairy, aspartame and nightshade vegetables.
