I HAVE BEEN ON THIS FOR A WHILE NOW AND HAVE FELT BETTER, LOST 30 LBS AND LOWERED MY CHOLESTEROL. I AM WONDERING THOUGH IS WHICH TYPE OF DIET IF PREFERRED WITH FIBROM. MY DOCTOR JUST TOLD ME TO AVOID STARCHY CARBOS LIKE POTATOS, CORN, BEANS, BREAD AND PASTA. THERE ARE SO MANY DIETS OUT THERE AND MANY SUGGEST EASTING BEANS AND WHOLE GRAINS THAT HAVE LOTS OF FIBER. I HAVE BEEN AVOIDING THEM ALL BUT WOULD LIKE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HOW CARBS AFFECT PEOPLE WITH THE DISEASE AND ANY ARTICLES ON THIS TYPE OF THING.    Follow Ups:   Re: FIBROMYALGIA AND LOW CARB DIETS Dana   Posted at: 01/17/03 (0) Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Message to Post : I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS BEEN PLACED ON GUIFENISEN AND A LOW CARB DIET.
