In this talk they discuss their experiences, the scientific support for using dietary changes to treat chronic pain and the possible mechanisms at work.

I suffer from fibromyalgia myself and I was wondering how much of a reduction in pain does this diet help with this condition as nothing seems to help at the moment.
Thanks for your reply.
A lot of people in getting better in their IBS with LCHF.
My chronic pain has been drastically reduced, my stomach and bowel issues have disappeared, I went from barely being able to walk to working out at the gym about an hour and a half a day 6 days a week. I have lost over 30 pounds! I no longer have sugar or carb cravings. I just had blood work done and will find out next week how things went with that.
Feeling optimistic!
