In fact, if you look back at the many responses from CFS'ers that we got last week, several other people expressed the same idea. This is obviously something to consider and rule out with a health professional who knows something about this and won't pooh-pooh the idea. Thanks much for your posting.

Has anybody done the food elimination diet to determine if symptoms are from food? Bellruth, please be open to this: Food intolerance is a major contributor to many misdiagnosis--including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I know this, first hand. But guess what, two people (an young, new internal med. doctor and another person who had already gone through the discovery process) had mentioned it to me years before another doctor (of osteopathy-who now has his own practice treating such disorders) insisted it was caused by food. I felt insulted and in disbelief when I was when told that my debilitating disease was a food problem. It took ten years of my life! Over the past five years I have determined which foods were causeing my CFS. For me, the following foods cause my symptoms to return: wheat/glutten, corn, dairy, vinegar (likely the mother which is a mold needed to crete all vinegar), canola oil, and thickeners like starches and gelatin. The symptoms are: depression, muscle/joint pain and weakness (flue-like), constipation, serious brain fog (corn esp.),cognative problems, mood swings-outbursts, irritability and more. While I have opened the eyes of a number of my doctors, one admitted they need proof and to create proof they would have to make people sick. All were deaf to the food elimination diet being recommended by a medical doctor-they want tests--and tests are not accurate so they lable and treat the symptoms. Thank you for hearing this.
