    Is it sure it is fibromyalgia? Processed carbs in general are pro-inflammatory and often make inflammatory conditions worse. An example is polymyalgia rheumatica which has symptoms very similar to fibromyalgia but is an inflammatory vasculitis. Fibro doesn't have an inflammatory component.

    Not that that doesn't mean carbs might not have some effect on fibromyalgia if you have an intolerance of something in them.
