I am not aware of a diet that helps. It is not a food related issue really. They say don't drink alcohol, partly because it raises blood pressure and partly because you may be on medications that adversely react with it. I personally have not had any dietary things help me.

I think it is a good idea to have a healthy diet in general. One of the best things I ever did was working with a nutritionist to learn how to eat healthy meals, portions. I strongly recommend every individual work with their doctor in coming up with a food plan that works best for them. Avoid drinks with too much caffeine, alcohol. Keep sweets to a minimum.

For me my weight affects my pain level. I hurt less at my smallest. I know that there is the Mayo Clinic pain management diet that has benefited a lot of people. Definitely what you eat will make a difference on how you feel.

I have always been into training and having a Clean Diet. Many people who have this are not allowed or should not Bear down as you can increase the circulation of our cerebral brain fluid.
Therefore your water intake is of most importance, nutrient dense foods, and foods rich in fiber . Personally I take Metamucil everyday. Personally I eat oatmeal every morning I don't drink anything except water. I've never had soda in my life oh, I am just not that type of person that put garbage into my body.
Come on you know how it goes!
You are what you eat from your head down to your feet!!!
