Fibromyalgia is a disease characterized by a wide range of symptoms that include muscle and joint pain as well as fatigue. Although there is no specific fibromyalgia diet that will improve symptoms for everyone, certain additives cause problems in many people, and these small problems can be exacerbated in people with fibromyalgia. For example, many people have minor reactions to monosodium glutamate (MSG) or the nitrates found in processed food, such as bologna. While most people may notice mild symptoms, those with fibromyalgia may have increased pain or exhaustion, indicating that these foods should be avoided.
