Suggest Diet For Fibromyalgia Treatment

Fibromyalgia & Ayurveda Management.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX
Thanks for contacting with your health concern and since you are a diagnosed case, you are under regular guidance of your attending physician/doctor, and being a Naturopath I have duly summed up your case and came with following suggestions and preventive aspect:
1. since aspartame may trigger, mimic, or cause fibromyalgia, thus also avoid phenylalanine derived food: meat,eggs,fish,cheese, products containing aspartame, almonds,beef,legumes, nuts,peanuts, pork, pumpkin/sesame seeds, soyabean/flour.
2. Fibromyalgia is not an inflammatory condition, and because there is no identifiable cause thus treatment is symptomatic, as a result both pharmacological and non pharmacological measures are used as adjuvant to get a good control of pain and extended symptom free period, such as:
. Relaxation and stress management [stress is trigger response to fibromyalgia symptoms], thus yoga & Pranayama are helpful
. Physiotherapy: wax massage, ultrasound/infra red technique to minimize pain.
. Diet rich in omega 3 is considered helpful in alleviating fibromyalgia symptoms.
. In Ayurveda we consider/manage the disease under 'Mans-Medo Gat Vaat', thus prescription medicines available are: chandraprabha vati, navak guggulu, trifla kwath,panchskar churan, navkarshik guggulu.
PS. you may opt for DLPA (D-L-phenylalanine) which is not habit forming, and has no known side effects, and is available in health food stores.
Do revert back for any clarification and concern
