Giving up dairy products reduced my afib episodes from 50 percent of the time to almost nonexistent. Sugar has seemed to cause problems in the past so I avoid it along with dairy. Other dietary factors that I avoid are food additives, MSG, onions, greasy foods, and too much fiber. Dairy products were the key for me, though. Before I quit dairy, avoiding the other foods did no good. in sinus in Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 --- For many years, I only had fib attacks after going to sleep on a full stomach. I thought it was related to acid reflux. It was very helpful to eat a nice lunch and skip eating at night. This worked for a long time, so I thought my trigger was eating at night, and spicy or rich foods. Lately I seem to be having fib attacks also when stressed or upset, but it still seems that food could be related to the attacks: I have cut out all caffeine and chocolate, and cut the sugar to a minimum amount. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't matter what I do, the attack comes. But I still think food is involved. MandyofCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
