Fibromyalgia

I have a client who has bouts with fibromyalgia.. She says that she tried chaning her diet years ago and it worked. But she went back to her old eating habits. She recently changed back to that same diet; it is called a CANDIDA DIET. She says it is a diet where who limit your sugars and starches to basically none. She says this diet does wonders for her. Has anyone heard anything like this about this diet or any other type of diet.

Yes absolutely Frank. Many of my clients did well on that. Basically it is a systemic yeast infection. Diets that contain high sugars, white flour, yeast products etc. feed upon Candida. There is a great book "The Yeast Connection", you should read it. It will explain a lot and why many individuals have symptoms we see all the time with clients.

I was on a panel many years ago (multi-disciplinary) where we spoke at universities, hospitals and FM support groups.
Diet was a HUGE consideration! There is also a Blog on Fibromyalgia here on the site. Check it out.
