Members shared mixed experiences with gluten-free diets for fibromyalgia, with some reporting reduced pain or improved IBS symptoms while others found no relief from fatigue or fibro pain. Several members discovered through food journaling that individual triggers varied widely, with sensitivities to white flour products, processed carbs, sugar, and even coffee, emphasizing that what works differs dramatically from person to person. A recurring theme was the frustration of managing an unpredictable condition where symptoms persist regardless of dietary changes, though many felt the effort was worthwhile for any quality-of-life improvements, however small.

MauiT- ya I journal things that I reached to, to see if other foods trigger me. That really helped. If something you think gave you a symptom. Write down what you think you ate bothered you and how it bothers you. Wait 3 days and try it again if you had the some reaction then you know. Sometime I did it 3 times. You would be surprised what foods you maybe sensitive to. The human body is a tricky thing🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel a lot better gluten free but the fibro remains. I don't miss wheat in my diet much. I've heard coffee is "cross reactive" for gluten sensitive people, but I still have my cup of java each day, so maybe I need to quit coffee for a while and see how I feel. For me, quitting sugar and processed carbs was also a big improvement.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I think my fatigue is less because at the same time I got a CPAP machine. Instead of sleeping 12 to 14 hours nightly with a 2 hour nap I am now sleeping 6 to 7 hours nightly and usually no nap. It might be a combination of the 2.

Ive found i need to vary my diet. Sometimes I try gf, but other times i try something else. The only consistency that I have found is that inconsistency is all that works. Sad but true, this disease is nuts,
