I was doing well, and thought I'd have some fun and eat brownies and candy at Halloween. Ugh. Bad idea! After that mistake, I got to suffer a huge flare up of all my symptoms. It is yet another reminder for me that sugar is definitely not sweet to me right now. When I say I had a flare up, it's not just a sugar headache. It is literally a flare up of a hundred symptoms.
I really think that anyone trying to heal chronic illness should carefully consider staying away from sugar as much as possible. It's amazing to me how many of my symptoms flare up with it and if I didn't normally stay away from it, I might not even know that's what was making me flare up. Anyway, I always say everyone is different, but it's definitely a huge factor for probably a lot of people.
I love the book "Healing Multiple Sclerosis", by Ann Boroch. It has really helped me to understand the importance of staying away from the junk as much as I can. :)
