Fibro update

OK gluten free is harder than I thought.  Maybe its just the thought of not having flour goods.  Haven't made the cookies yet but will make them this week, and let you know how they are.

Juicing seems to be helping me again.  Cucumbers, celery, fennel are refreshing and help with inflammation, add an apple or a pear and it's good to go.  I hear that licorice tea is helpful, but only to be taken 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. I just need to find a health food store that carries it.

I was turned on to a pretty good website for vitamins it iHerb.com.  Haven't tried it yet but the prices seem pretty reasonable.  Hope it helps...let me know how it goes.

I hope to be adding some recipes and helpful information in the future.

Fibromyalgia diet update

Wow didn't realize I started this fibromyalgia blog is June.  

OK update am trying to change my diet to see if it helps with my fibromyalgia.  I have eliminated yeast and its's seemed to help get rid of most of my stomach pains.  So now I am going gluten free.  Yeast free was hard I didn't realize yeast was in so many things I liked.  Cheese, soy sauce, most sauces weren't allowed either and of course sugar.  At least cheese is allowed with this gluten free diet, so that makes me happy!

I bought some gluten free oats at Trader Joe's.  There's a recipe on the back for gluten free cookies, so will try it and let you know how they turn out (course there is the matter of sugar!).  It calls for peanut butter but will substitute almond butter.  Only because peanuts are not good my for my blood type.

Now just need to work on exercise but thats for another day!  : )
