The blood type diet is another nonsense fad diet.
According to the Blood type diet, type A persons are naturally vegetarians and type B persons should balance their diet between plant and animal proteins. type O persons typically ate red meat and other high protein food.
Here is a link to a write-up that discusses the diet in some detail and describes its essential flaws. In summary it says "Medical experts universally agree that the theory is nonsense, and say there is absolutely no link between our blood group and the diet we eat. Consequently you won't find qualified nutritionists or dietitians recommending this diet."

Hi Syl, from my brief internet searching it seems like the diagnosis for fibromyalgia is still an uncertain one. Do you think a person could have it without having other areas of pain in the body? I have many of the symptoms listed, but no unusual body pain other than headaches and intestinal pain.

IBS-C, lots of spasm and trapped gas.

Hi There-
I get the tingling, "I'm gonna hurl" feeling, and goosebumps all over my arms when I am having an attack. No Celia, No FM. I've have IBS for 26 years (I'm 38) and have always had this symptom. (Right now as a matter of fact as I wait for a pending attack...)
Anyway, my new GI (I've had a few HAHA) says that the pain, tingling, sweating, coldness, etc. may be caused by the gasto-colic reflex muscle (?) Not too sure if I have this right. Anyway, he said that once that gets going in an attack (and w/me it's every, single time after I eat ANYTHING..apparently mine functions a bit TOO well) the nerves can effect and radiate throughout the whole body. Of course this doesn't explain everything ( Does anything when we speak of IBS???), but it was a theory.
Your not alone!

I believe the symptoms range few to many and the intensity from mild to severe. It is a diagnosis by exclusion of other possibilities. And as I recall there is a significant cross-over between fibromyalgia. chronic fatigure and IBS. When my IBS gets out of hand some the fibromyalgia symptoms return. When they do I know it is time to get back to my safe base diet quickly

I always wondered if the tingling was from my IBS or if it caused some of the IBS or if it was unrelated nervous system issue.
Fortunately or unfortunately I'm kinda glad I'm not alone and dont have some freak disease.

This is SO interesting! I too have been thinking there is something freaky wrong with me. The tops of my arms frequently get goose bumps and sort a of tingling feeling. My lower left leg does this too. (sometimes my entire leg(s)
It NEVER occured to me this was caused by IBS.......
Sometimes I feel very stupid for mentioning to my DR all the weird little symptoms I have. But thanks to you all and this wonderful message board, I don't feel as crazy now!!!
I am going to pay more attention now to my IBS flares and when I feel the goose bumps.

So I've been on the SF predominant diet for 3 weeks now.
My IBS-D symptoms have decreased from D to A or loose stools and I feel much better.
My only complaint is that the tingling in my feet have increased. It is always there during the day. The second I wake up, it starts up strong on the soles of my feet.
This happened last year at this time also (November through March). I remember at that time I cut out dairy but still ate IF. I went to a neurologist everything came back ok.
My IBS-D is better now than last year with this SF diet.
I'm certainly thinking Fibromylagia, but could the tingling be food allergy or intolerance now that I've upped the amount of white bread products that I eat?
OR is it just the cold weather?
So strange, as i type, my feet are tingling like crazy.
Oh....last question....does Fibromylagia cause hypersensitivity in nerves?

Here is a booklet on Fibromyalgia published by The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases that may have some helpful information.
Burning or tingling hands/feet may be early warning of pre-diabetes which is something else you might consider.

Erica,
I was just going to respond when I saw Syl's post. I was going to ask you if you have been checked for diabetes? My dad has adult onset (which he controls with diet), and I remember him often complaining of tingling on the soles of his feet and tingling/itching on the palms of his hands. It might be worth getting checked out. I believe it is not a complicated test.
