I will agree with that. I went vegetarian after my diagnosis and have seen an improvement in my quality of life. I steer clear of processed foods and you are correct it is far less expensive, i've also noticed i eat less as the nutrient dense foods i eat are far more filling. My Mother suggested trying to go gluten free as well, she was reading that some folks with CFS also were gluten intolerant. I'm not sure if that's the case but i'm willing to give it a try, i'll post more if i see some results.
