Sneaky Sauces
Take-Out Dangers
Last night we decided to have take-out for dinner. I was hungry and didn’t want to cook or clean up. I ordered my favorite fried rice and Hawaiian tri-tip, thinking I was pretty safe with those choices, in terms of being gluten, dairy and sugar free.
I was wrong. I could feel it as soon as I tried to move this morning. My joints were very stiff and achy. My shoulders all the way down through my lower back hurt. I haven’t experienced this in quite a few days and immediately suspected my dinner last night.
Sure enough, I confirmed with the restaurant that the soy sauce and other marinades contained wheat and/or corn syrup. Guess I won’t be doing that again any time soon. It was sure yummy, though.

Hi Angelika,
Thanks for dropping by. Dietary changes can help in a lot of different diseases, fibromyalgia being one of them. From what I’ve read and been told, fibro and arthritis, gluten and sugars seem to increase inflamation and pain. I didn’t really start to see change until I’d been eating differently for about 2 weeks, see the original post http://happyfibrofamily.today.com/2008/06/11/dietary-restrictions/.
It’s worth trying though, especially with MS. I know of two close friends who had significant improvement with MS when they made significant changes in their diet. I’m sure if you searched online, you could find similar stories with MS.
