No food or combination of foods have been proven to relieve chronic pain conditions. However, it has been widely reported by sufferers that a high protein, low carbohydrate diet has helped to alleviate some of the pain. But how could this be?
One common issue with Fibromyalgia, CFS and Rheumatoid Arthritis is weight gain. This can be caused by reduced mobility, medication and decreased metabolism due to hormone deficiencies brought on by the disease. If you eat a low carb diet, you will lose weight so will therefore be putting less pressure on your joints and muscles.
Another issue is the inflammation in the body. Carbohydrates, particularly sugar actually cause inflammation. By avoiding these in your diet you should theoretically reduce inflammation. Isn't it worth a try?
