Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Hello, I'm not sure if anybody has this info yet. But I'm sure you must have, But just incase here I go... My mother got this information from the lady that re-wallpapered my moms home. The lady has FM and she learned through a book called something like eating for your blood type. Basically it says that people with certain blood types should eat these certain foods and should stay away from certain foods. And it talks about eating certain foods that will ease up the FM. This lady has to take no medication any more she does physically active work. wall papering and painting and such. and she's pain free. She has very few signs of the Fm anymore. My mom read some in the book. the only thing I can remember for me is in A neg. blood and with FM I'm supposed to stay away from wheat. You don't realize it but wheat is in almost everything you eat. This lady has the same as me and wheat was the big thing for her. Now that she doesn't use wheat and follows the rest of the diet. She is much better. and darn near FM free. She is so happy with it. This is the link I found about it. I thought I had another better one but I cant find it I will keep looking. here is this one for now. I hope it can help someone. It sucks for me cause I don't eat enough to make my diet matter. So for me it's no help but I hope for all of you it will be a help. Taking this from one person with bad FM she swears by it. good luck and if anybody does have good luck with it please let me know id be really happy to hear about it. ~~ Jo, http://weightloss.about.com/cs/bloodtypediet/index.htm <http://weightloss.about.com/cs/bloodtypediet/index.htm> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Jo, I agree with you that diet affects fm. My doctor just told me the other day to stay away from wheat, dairy and chocolate. He claims it flares up the fibro, so I am going to try to avoid these foods and see what happens. I hate that you have to look into every thing that we eat to make sure it doesn't have these cetain ingredients in them but if it will help I am willing to try anything at this point! He also told me ffor IBS which I also have to avoid tomatoes....I might as well stop eating..:-( Well hope this info helps some of any! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Irene, I've been curious about the effects of aspartame for awhile now. While I'm diligently TRYING to drink more water, I am absolutely addicted to Diet Pepsi and have been for years and years. I've cut back from probably 10 12 oz. cans a day to about 6, but I still absolutely crave those 6 cans. I can drink some fruit juice, but the sugar in it is bad for my insulin absorption problem (just added glucophage a couple of months ago - yet ANOTHER med!), and with the new pain meds and muscle relaxants, I'm always thirsty and have significant problems with dry mouth (probably also from the Serzone). Sometimes nothing but the diet pepsi will take away the " thirsties " . I've even tried substituting Diet Rite cola, which uses Splenda instead of aspartame, but can't drink it because it tastes too sweet. I started drinking Tab way back during my early teenage years, and I've been a diet soda drinker for well over 30 years now - what effect has all this aspartame had on my system??? - At 02:34 PM 9/29/01 EDT, you wrote: >Also aspartame which is used as a sugar substitute for sugar and is found in >a lot of sugar free drinks and food. > >Take care, >Irene >co-moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you are at least trying to have a sense of humor about now having to use the diapers! They fall under the category of " things we don't want to talk or know about " for most people (not those of us on list), sort of like chronic pain and fatigue. You're suppose to mention them one or twice to people and after that, they don't want to hear about your pain or fatigue. You're suppose to suffer through it, like they do. (rolling my eyes). Anyway, I just wanted to say, in collage, I had a friend who was always having to stop at bathrooms all of the time. She drank a lot of diet sodas. I finally figured it out after I started drinking a lot of (full sugar) sodas! I was having to run to the bathroom all of the time too! Of course, now my beloved cokes don't taste good anymore, and I can't drink the diet drinks, so it's water for me almost 100% of the time. I still run to the bathroom all of the time!
