Hi
My Rheumy told me yesterday that I need to adopt a vegan diet (+/- fish) and no sugar!
The vegan diet won’t be a problem for me as my husband is vegan so I pretty much vegan anyways, my problem will be no dessert!
Has anyone else cut sugar from their diet and found benefits?
Hi, new to this chat group. I have been suffering with Fibromyalgia over 10+ years. After several ups and downs with depression and anxiety, I decided to take control. Taking control means that i have to look at my diet. Sugar and Gluten are two no-nos if you want to control the pain levels.
So, does your doc mean no eggs or dairy or other animal products except fish? And then no gluten or sugar. Ouch.
However, this is very I interesting. I’ve certainly known people with various idiopathic illnesses that benefitted from ditching one or both. (How cruel. Sugar AND gluten.) I know it can be done, once you get your mind around it. I too will be interested to hear from others…

I realize I posted this under the wrong query (right subject, gluten, sugar) but I can’t seem to move it.
Apologies.
Hi Dominee, I posted a thought about your query in the wrong spot, below, but beyond that, I have another thought.
I was going to post something about my extraordinary success with D-Ribose, a supplement which is a sugar our bodies make. Wonder if that’s permissible.
Hi Lynne I’ve only just seen this message. Thanks! I’ll look it up and I’ve it an try as a sugar substitute.
Hi Dominee,
I should caution you about overdoing the D-ribose: it will produce undesirable intestinal side effects in some if you take too much at once. When I stick with the recommended 500mg at a time, all is well. But I have kind of a twitchy gut, and have unthinkingly overdone it on occasion, and spent a little time in the bathroom…ahem. Not cramping, just, um, bathroom time.
Good luck to you!
Lynne
