But wow, you guys are totally speaking to me! I have been struggling the past few months with my diet, and finally decided that a low GI diet would work best for me. I too find that sugar really flares up my fibro and makes me feel all sluggish and blah. However, I have NO self control atm. I think, like Ruchie, I need a clearly outlined plan...I was researching diets for both fibromyalgia and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that could be adapted for IBS (sounds impossible, doesn't it??)...and I came upon the paleolithic diet (aka hunter/gatherer, caveman diet). It's a low GI diet based on primitive man's diet. The recipes in the book I bought sound delicious, though I have yet to really get my butt in gear and try any of them. Plus, it's a little too rigid for my tastes at the moment....but it gives some good guidelines!
Anyhow, I would love to see a sample itinerary of the meals you prepare Linz, if you don't mind? It sounds like you have actually implemented what I have only thought of doing. I KNOW I need to be on a low GI diet. When I have actually tried going low GI in the past, I have felt like a new woman with boundless energy! Right now I am in the middle of a fibro funk and have cravings galore, so restricting myself sounds impossible
