Fibromyalgia and Food Allergies
Fibromyalgia is one of the most common rheumatic conditions next to osteoarthritis. Fibromyalgia is pain (algia) which occurs) in the fibrous (fibro) ligaments, tendons and in the muscles (my). Fibromyalgia symptoms can be generalized pain, achiness, and stiffness all over the body. Some of the pain may radiate from places on the body when he sufferer is touched. These are called "tender points". Another symptom of fibromyalgia is chronic fatigue.
Food allergies or a Food Intolerance can cause inflammation symptoms which causes pain. And the type of food contributing to inflammation symptoms and pain can be different for each individual. One food may be positive in one case and negative in another. The easiest fibromyalgia treatment is eliminating the foods causing the pain.
Food intolerances “turn up” the pain volume in fibromyalgia sufferers. They also have more noise, light and chemical sensitivities, than other people.

This inflammation may flare up hours or even a day after the food is consumed and absorbed into your system.
