I have just found out that I have FM but have been in pain for 5 years. My Doctor wants me to keep a food journal to see if there is anything I eat that will give me a flare. Well I have done this for over a month now and oh my I can not eat Beef or Onions. So we go out lastnight and I was not thinking and ate Beef over half before I seen what I was doing. I am in so much pain today I want to cry I hate that I am still so new at this I messed up lastnight. So anyone out there know of foods that put you in pain?
Hi Maggiemay
We all mess up at times. I try and eat healthy. Pepsi is my weakness. I hope you feel better soon
Maggie,
I also have sensitivity to grocery store "corn-fed" beef, pork and chicken. If I get organic beef or grass fed beef I don't seem to have any issues. But within hours of eating meat from the grocery store or a restaurant my stomach is feels bad and that makes the rest of me feel bad. Also anytime I eat processed foods of any kind I feel bad. So basically I stick to organic meats and organic fruits and veggies. And I make mistakes all the time. Like if I forget to eat breakfast in the morning or forget my lunch and have to eat in the cafe at work, I know I'm going to pay later.
Gentle Hugs,
Stacey
hi. it is good if you can identify foods that make you feel worse. I have not noticed that for myself however we eat pretty healthily avoiding processed and packaged foods. i think that is the best way to go and of course avoiding things that disagree.

Hi, I have a ptoblem with nightshade veggies. They cause flares. Especially peppers. Milk causes excessive congestion for me. Good luck.
Maggiemay, I am sorry that you are in so much pain. I have not found specific foods that cause fibro flares. As you are new to the diagnosis of fibromyalgia don't become overwhelmed and scold yourself for messing up. Just start reading about fibro and learn bit by bit. Fibro can have many symptoms but some of the symptoms will likely not apply to you.
Gentle hugs
