: I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS BEEN PLACED ON GUIFENISEN AND A LOW CARB DIET. 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.

I have been a vegetarian for several years and carbs have been my downfall. I am seriously considering going back to eating meat (a little red meat only; not ready for poultry)! because I can feel a difference when I have too many carbs in my diet. As soon as I start avoiding them, I feel better. I agree with the type of diet you have been put on.
