Although I am not allergic to gluten, I did try a gluten free diet that was extremely strict. I did feel somewhat better but it was very very expensive & I didn't like the food & lost too much weight.

These things are best tried as you just never know. I believe as I feel better with some dietary choices. Aspartame increases muscle pain and spasm and turmeric and black.pepper for inflammation. Effects are immediate.

I have been gluten free for a few years and the fibro tiredness started about two years after that, so in my case, gluten was not the cause.

my doctor put me on an elimination diet for 3 weeks, I'm on day 16. I can't have gluten, corn, soy, pork, beef, eggs, dairy, white sugar, shellfish, processed meat, coffee, tea, chocolate.... I'm sure I missed a few. I'm really getting discouraged because it hasn't helped anything. In fact my stomach actually hurts worse and I've been in a flare the past 5 days. I have 6 more days before I can slowly introduce those things back into my diet. I don't know if I will make it 😟

I have found that it has since merit. However, for me, it is mainly sugar that effects my pain. I have had a LOT of problems with gluten free products because I leaky gut from fibromyalgia.
