Is your diet causing your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? 2009-07-23
The gnawing pain in your hand and wrist just won‘t go away. It started out as a tingling sensation, but now the pain really puts a pinch on things when you‘re trying to write a letter, type on the computer, or work in the kitchen. You thought it was just arthritis at first, but now you know it‘s Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. You‘ve tried resting your wrist and wearing a splint. But nothing‘s worked, right? Well, before you resort to drugs, injections, or surgery, here‘s something you should consider. Is it possible your wrist pain is related to your diet? More and more alternative medicine experts have begun to think so. In fact, yellow dye #5 (officially called Tartrazine) may be the culprit. Ideally, you shouldn‘t have any artificial dyes in your diet. I‘d try eliminating all foods that contain them. You‘ll have to read all food labels carefully. Some products you‘d never think to check contain dyes, like pickles, salmon from the seafood counter, mustard, horseradish, and even toothpaste. Now -- I haven‘t run across any scientific studies to back up the yellow dye hunch, just dozens of anecdotal success stories. If you decide to give it a go and scrap all the mac & cheese in your pantry, here‘s my fair warning: it may take up to six weeks to notice the results. But don‘t give up. Getting help with B6 Vitamin B may also help to ease your carpal tunnel. For most people, I recommend a good B complex (it‘s got all eight B vitamins in it). Go for at least 50 mg a day. If that doesn‘t work you can start to single out B-6. Try adding 100 mg of it a day. You can go as high as 400 mg per day. Some people start to worry about pyridoxine neuropathy with anything higher than 400 mg, but personally I think it‘s extremely rare. Plus -- B-6 always works better with magnesium. So always make sure you get 400-500 mg of that per day as well. Also, I‘d also consider starting some acupuncture treatments before resorting to more invasive measures. As always, the American College for Advancement in Medicine is a great place to look for a qualified practitioner in your area.
