The elimination diet can help you uncover food allergies and sensitivities, which are common in those of us with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Have you tried the diet? Did it help you uncover problem foods? What helped you stick to it, or what do you wish you'd known before you started? Share your experience so we can all learn from it! Share your experience!

what foods help you

I want to know what every fruit and vegetable does for our body

elimination diet

For more than 25 years, I have been on a vegan/vegartian diet. Would never go back to SAD (standart american diet). First educate yourself with books or on the internet. Best thing I have done for myself, family and the earth.

didn't help much

I found that I became overly sensitive to many foods when I tried it. I think it is safer to just eliminate one food at a time, like wheat and be careful when re-introducing it in case you have a bad reaction. Have Benadryl liquid available.
