Start cutting one item at a time. Each patient reacts to the condition differently and therefore has different reasons it flares up. Aspartame is a sweetener that attacks pain receptors. MSG attacks the receptors as well and is often found as a flavoring ingredient. Sugar and simple carbs can increase yeast which can inflame joint pain so avoid yeast as well. Caffeine is a stimulant to avoid. Gluten can irritate stomach conditions and thus irritate the Fibromyalgia. Dairy, particularly milk, is a common irritant. Drink skim-the less fat the better. Last would be nightshade plants such as tomatoes. The reason is unknown but many patients get relief from this.
