SOMETIMES a gluten-free diet will do wonders for fibromyalgia pain (you have to COMPLETELY eliminate gluten from your diet, however; there is no such thing as "gluten lite").

There is lots of information out there on GF foods and the benefits of cutting wheat, barley, and rye from your diet. It's a simple change, and I was amazed at the difference in how I felt after going on it. Have your doctor test you for Celiac Disease, as it is another auto-immune disease (when you have one, you more than likely have others). If you test positive, you will HAVE to go on a GF diet.

However, if you're like me, once you are on it, you will NEVER want to go back to eating gluten. It won't "cure" myasthenia, but it CAN make some of the symptoms less severe in some people.
