Natural treatments of fibromyalgia

[zawza1990]

Fibromyalgia is a disease characterized by chronic widespread pain, fatigue, as well as sleep disorders, and sometimes symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Affecting mostly women, fibromyalgia can have a significant impact on quality of life. The exact causes are unknown and many patients seek alternatives to medication. What results can we expect?

The gluten-free diet

If you suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome or IBS) and fibromyalgia, you may have an intolerance to gluten. A gluten-free diet can then relieve your symptoms, not just digestive.

Researchers examined 104 people who suffered from fibromyalgia and IBS, and compared with 125 people who had a diagnosis of IBS but not fibromyalgia. Seven of the IBS Group / fibromyalgia have received a positive diagnosis of celiac disease, or 6.7% of the group studied. They had never been diagnosed before. This percentage may seem low. But we must remember that the prevalence of celiac disease in the general population did not reach 1%. This means that people with both fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome are almost 9 times more likely to have this disease. Celiac disease is an intolerance to gluten, a protein group of several grains including wheat. The eviction of gluten is the only known cure.

In this study, once diagnosed coeliacs participants began to eat gluten-free, they experienced “a remarkable improvement of digestive and systemic symptoms,” the researchers write.
