I notice in the summer when I eat too much sugars, caffeine, tomatoes, foods that are too spicy, too many carbs at once, etc my pain comes back. But in the winter I have to be even more strict about my diet if not my pain that is permanently there gets even worse. So I try to enjoy my food in the warm months and totally give them up in cold months.

I do avoid nightshades because of stomach pain and GERD. Didn't realize those could bother my fibro until after I had suffered and had tests done for GERD. Helps some, and every little thing we can do helps to overcome.
