Do you try special DIETS to help you with Fibromyalgia?

* Your suggestions are really very Welcome! ...specially AT X-MASS TIME WE WILL DO VISIT IN THE FAMILY!
- when i am not able to eat AT ALL, even with pills of digestive enzymes or probiotics, i drink Limu Moui vegetable juice with Fucoidan, a sugar extracted from these brown seaweeds, helping luckily to be less weak and to get my vitamins, minerals i need...

The only reason I alter my diet is for the IBS connected with the fibromyalgia. I have found that eating high alkalide fruits and probiotic yogurt are helpful, but I still have some bad moments especially if I eat cream sauces.
I do take the supplements of magnesium/calcium/D and magnesium with malic acid (Mag-Citrate). Magnesium aids in over 300 bodily functions and should be taken in combination with Calcium. I was taking 3 Cal/Mag/D's a day when I suddenly got an increase in my creatinine levels. I cut back on the Calcium and then stopped taking it completely. Then I became constipated so I have gone back to taking 2 a day.
Magnesium with Malic Acid does help with the pain but I don't think there is anything that will make it go away completely. I learn to cope, know my limitations and pace myself. Exercise does help as long as I don't overdo.
