Hi Tess Sorry for late reply its only 1 25 am lol early for me often see 2 3 4 5 am

Ok, The doctor who wrote the article apparently had been suffering with fibro for about 2 years and she said " After 2 years of misery my condition was getting worse --- but I then came across the theory that fibromyalgia may be linked to oxalates, which are compounds found in healthy' foods , such as fruit vegetables, salads nuts and beans.

I cut these out of my diet and overnight my symptoms disappeared--- the disabling muscle pains, tingling legs, fatigue and inability to concentrate all went,

But if I ate food rich in oxalates,the symptoms returned within hours.

But she then went on to say everybody is different and it may not work for everybody but those who have typical symptoms of fibro should so vast improvement after about 3 to 4 weeks she then goes on to say try it for the 3 weeks as you have nothing to lose

But Tess since reading the whole article I have delved much deeper into this and I have discovered that apparently if you have suffered for a long time with fibro then sadly it is not likely to work for you in a short time as there is the vast amount of Oxalate in the body and will take a lot longer to disperse,

Also, again from reading more into the subject it is more likely to work more efficiently if you use specific food supplements which help "bind" the oxalate which assists the Oxalate to be excreted from the body in the persons stools as opposed to urine ,

So the answer really is it depends on the individuals circumstances Tess

Hope this is helpful and not too long winded ,,,,, aching now lol so take care

Warm hugs and smiles

Those meal ideas all sound really nice

[Hidden]

Oh isn't it funny how we're all different. Your diet would kill me off. I'm highly sensitive to dairy, mushroom, yeast, so bread, caffiene, so cola and chocolate. and to say sugar? Is good to eat? When so many of us have Candida issues? I don't understand lol....

Obviously it's so important to research our own sensitivities. The lectin story is a great place to start and easy to google x

OK. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyagia. After 4 years of suffering. I am desperate to find some answers
