[Charr53]

Hi everyone, has anyone done the keto diet and if so did you get on ok? I will be talking to my Dr but just need to know if you got through it OK and if so we're you on gabapentin or anything similar to it? Thank you for reading this.

I have but couldn’t find any information about it online or via forums! But if you so Intermittent fasting alongside it taking your meds will break your fast

I've no idea but if you need to eat something for your meds, maybe you should try nutritional ketosis instead of fasting ketosis.

Hi , I have done keto shakes , and I lost a few stone doing this . I was told by one of the leaders at one of the organisations , that I purchased them from at a meeting that it was ok to take my medication with the milkshakes . Also my pain levels have always been alot better when I have done keto with milkshakes or with food .

In case you're interested the main 3-4 diets suggested to try for fibro are no meat and/or no dairy, no gluten and Mediterranean. These altogether sum up about 20 diets. Keto is a bit similar to Mediterranean, and includes low FODMAP. The most important thing to keep fats unsaturated, e.g. nuts, and for carbs complex. And for both and anything: Unprocessed as much as possible. If you read low carb proponents closely, it boils down to the fact that the modern day industrial food processing processes and thus makes complex carb simple. So it's not really carb that's the problem, it's the processing....
