Three years of weird symptoms. Just diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

5. I have tried gluten free.

It seems like I tried everything on Earth to remedy the GERD and gastritis, including several elimination type diets that cut out gluten among other things. None of them seemed to make much difference.

When this first hit me, I had chronic diarrhea and lost 25 pounds and was at a healthy weight for a while. The diarrhea cleared up but losing that weight didn't seem to make a difference either. I slowly started putting the weight back on (feeling too sick to exercise much) but am dieting again. I have 20 pounds to lose. I don't eat much gluten now because my diet is very low carb.

I know gluten free helps a lot of people though, so thanks for mentioning it. Exercising regularly makes me feel a little better too so I'm sticking with that.
