Has anyone here managed to relieve their symptoms by changing their diet? Although I eat reasonably healthy (when I do eat), I probably could do better. I should point out that when I say change diet, I mean really change diet to eat all the things we are supposed to everyday!
I know for a fact that I do not drink enough water. Basically, I can't stand the stuff out of the tap, so buy bottled but only sparkling. Secondly, I never seem to eat the 'five a day' fruit and vegetables that are recommended. It would appear that everything has sugar or salt content in it as well. Some years ago I used to consume a considerable amount of yoghurt everyday thinking I was doing myself the world of good until I discovered the amount of suger in it meant I was getting through nearly a bag of the stuff a week!
Be honest, when we're feeling peckish, we have a choice between a stick of celery and an apple or opening a box of Jaffa Cakes........I know which one I would prefer!
My weight is not an issue, if anything, on a bad day the wind could blow me over. I am lucky enough to be able to eat anything without gaining an ounce (although I believe anxiety may have some relation to this) but I don't exactly gorge on cakes or biscuits or sweets. I only eat chicken and occasionally tinned tuna as far as meat is concerned. I do smoke off and on which is due to my nerves being bad.
But I would like to know if anyone has had success with a complete change to a healthy diet......100%........all of the time.
