Fibromyalgia and high protein diet?

Question

Does anyone know of medical studies or credible web sites that show evidence that a high protein diet is beneficial for fibro sufferers?

My friend has been on disability for fibro for several years and has recently had his high protien diet allowance revoked. He has an appeal coming up and any info in support of the benefits would be helpful.

Without the allowance he is basically going to have to live off mac and cheese and hot dogs which I am sure is going to undo all the improvement made in the last few years. (Basically from weeks of bed ridden periods to almost to the point now that he could start seeking the right job!...of course the high protien diet is combined with plenty of stretching and weight training.)

Answer 1

Well, I just typed, "Fibromyalgia and high protein diet" in Yahoo search and got so many sites with good information. Also check out www.webmd.com and www.about.com too.

Good luck to your friend.
