ONFoods to AVOID with Fibromyalgia !
1). Gluten - wheat flour, oats, barley, rye

deli
9). All Fried Foods - trans fats - french fries
10). Alcohol
11). Dairy Products
12). Caffeine
13). Starchy Foods - too much carbohydrates - pizza
I noticed that after cutting out processed foods, I don't have bowel problems anymore.
I was told to avoid caffeine, citrus fruits, lemon juice and tomatoes. Decaf is fine, but do let other people know it is decaf tea or coffee as some people suffer with headaches. Also sugar is a no.
Hope this helps.
From my own experience, red onions are a no no. Which is terrible because I love them and still eat them! I just know what I'm in for. Milk/ice cream as well, and I am not lactose intolerant. Red meat causes issues. Bread/wheat in excess. ALCOHOL is a major pain. Drinking will send me straight into a flare for days. I used to think I just got week long hangovers! I don't drink anymore because I'm afraid of the aftermath. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. If I think of any more ill add.
