“…7 Similarly, dietary and nutritional approaches to reducing musculoskeletal pain have been studied, including anti-inflammatory, low-calorie, and plant-based dietary patterns. [8][9][10][11][12] However, data on the relationship between diet quality and fibromyalgia symptoms are limited.…”

Diet and exercise may be beneficial for managing symptoms of fibromyalgia. However, data on the relationship between diet quality and fibromyalgia symptoms are limited. We investigated the relationship between diet quality, fibromyalgia, and psychological health in patients who participated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the use of Tai Chi versus aerobic exercise for managing symptoms of fibromyalgia. Methods:A cross-sectional study enrolled participants from a RCT. Diet quality and fibromyalgia symptoms were assessed using the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI-2010) and Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR), respectively. Retrospective analyses were performed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r) to examine the association of diet quality with pre-intervention FIQR, psychological variables, and quality of life. Results:Twenty-six female adults (mean age = 56 years; mean pre-intervention body mass index = 29.6) of 223 trial participants (11.7%) were included in the analyses. Higher diet quality was associated with higher pre-intervention chronic pain self-efficacy scores (r = 0.62, P = .01) and lower scores on the Hospital Depression scale (r = -0.47, P = .02). There were no significant associations between diet quality and pre-intervention severity of anxiety or physical health, quality of life, sleep quality, or FIQR scores. Conclusion:Preliminary results suggest a positive association between diet quality and self-efficacy and psychological health in women with fibromyalgia. Future prospective studies are needed.

“…[44][45][46]54 In accordance with that, results of survey studies indicated that a high occurrence of dietary factor sensitivity made bladder symptoms worse in the population of patients with BPS/IC. [55][56][57][58] For instance, a study conducted by researchers from the University of South Florida revealed that nearly all (96%) of the 598 respondents indicated that certain foodstuffs made symptoms worse. 59 Although the effects of foods and beverages on BPS/IC symptoms have been acknowledged for many years, the exact mechanism has never been elucidated.…”

Although it has been proposed that NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation may have an important contribution to the onset of bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC), as of today there is still insufficient evidence to accept or to reject this hypothesis. However, taking into consideration that inflammasomes have been already shown as important mediators of cyclophosphamide-induced bladder inflammation and that some studies have also revealed human bladder epithelium expresses high levels of NLRP3, such a hypothesis seems to be reasonable. The purpose of this review is to discuss a scenario that NLRP3 inflammasome is a crucial player in the development of this disease. Identification of a novel mediator of bladder inflammation and pain could lead to emerging new therapeutic strategy and the first causative therapy.

“…The potential roles of ingested substances on urine composition and subsequent influences on the urothelium remain unclear. For example, studies have reported that consumption of some foods influence symptoms in patients with IC/BPS . To date, however, these investigations appear to have relied on patient reports, so participants already may have known what foods they were “supposed” to respond to.…”

“…To date, however, these investigations appear to have relied on patient reports, so participants already may have known what foods they were “supposed” to respond to. The authors of a recent review concluded that, “The need for double‐blind, placebo‐controlled research to evaluate the role of foods and beverages on pain and urinary symptoms is warranted.” The blinded food trial is a well‐developed methodology in allergy medicine that might be applied to the study of the effects of foods on the urine and urothelium. One such study was conducted as part of a Master's thesis (reported in abstract form only) 25 years ago .…”
