Nutrition and Chronic Pain

Relationship Between Gut and Central Nervous System

I recently finished attending a nutrition seminar for continuing education, and I would like to share some new insights for managing chronic pain!

There is a bidirectional relationship between the gut and the central nervous system. Migraine headaches are associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as:

  • Helicobacter Pylori (bacteria)
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Celiac Disease

Dietary Recommendations

  • Gluten-free diet
  • Prebiotic fiber
    • increases beneficial gut flora
  • Low glycemic diet
  • Vitamin D3
  • Omega 3's
  • Probiotics
  • Mediterranean diet

High calorie, sugar, and caffeine intake contribute to chronic musculoskeletal pain. Higher protein intake and energy-dense diets can decrease chronic lower back pain!
