Hi there , I have fm I can’t work fed up with pain and I have decided to change my diet no more sugar !!!!

[Bobby3]

Well good luck we have changed our diet quite often as new things come out but can not have sweetener as what’s in them. Make us ill 🤢

Yes I have cut my sugar right back - I really have to think about every food I eat since fibromyalgia its so annoying - fell off the wagon last week and consumed a kit Kat - then was ill for two days (muscle pains, fatigue). - was it worth it - no comment !!! Neese. x

Hi

Im also doing the no sugar thing but I’m arthritis,high blood pressure which is due to some of my pills and I’ve also got fibromyalgia and on different site someone was taking about a book called

The 8 Week blood sugar diet

I’ve just received mine yesterday off eBay for 2.00.

Loads of ppl say it works.

So here’s hoping 🙂

[Looloo50 in reply to Nuttyshirlz]

Oh let me know what u think of it please 😊

[Nuttyshirlz in reply to Looloo50]

Will do but from what I’ve read it’s all stuff that you don’t already no.only I’m not sure I’m in that zone yet.

Has there say carrot 🥕 or chocolate 🍫🤔

Think I need to be hypnosis 🙂

[Looloo50 in reply to Nuttyshirlz]

Aw really not much point then 😏, yea that’s a hard one lol chocolate 🍫! 😊

Seems it's in nearly every product. It's like when I tried to cut out gluten I thought I was doing well but ended up hours in supermarket checking each item as it's in so much.I have one sweetener in my drinks .I used to have 3 sugars !

[Looloo50 in reply to Fra22-57]

Yea I know , I am sitting here right now stopping myself from raiding my hubbys biscuit jar 😒

[KnackeredKaty]

Why sugar? Is it supposed to cause joint pains or worsen fibro?

[Looloo50 in reply to KnackeredKaty]

Well that’s what I keep reading that sugar is bad for your pain and lately my legs and arms have been worse and I connected it to all the chocolate I have had over Easter 😮 so it’s worth a try don’t know if I can cut it right out if I have something in place when I need a sweet I’ll be okay !

[KnackeredKaty]

That's great info. I'll try it too then. A good sugar replacement is raw carrots. I find when I eat sweet potato with my dinner I don't fancy sweets.

[Looloo50]

Yea I do like to munch on a carrot there not always peeled an chopped when I fancy one and when I buy the prepared ones I end up forgetting about them 🤔

I stopped wheat/ gluten a couple of years ago and have noticed a massive improvement in fibro pain and fatigue. I still take a wheat treat once a week and it doesn't seem to affect me. However if I try to take wheat more than once a week , I immediately start to feel pain and heaviness/ fatigue particularly in my legs.

My next step is to try n cut back on sugar. I've heard it really helps

[Looloo50]

Hi sorry I haven’t been on yea I am still finding it hard to keep sugar out of my diet I crave sweet stuff but I have definitely cut down and see a difference in my weight which is a bonus trying to walk more too when my mess work (tramadol atm) ! Thanks for your reply x

[Looloo50]

Meds sorry not mess 😮
