Lifestyle Changes
- Try to identify if the pain coincide with the consumption of certain food:
- In particular, gluten, wheat, alcohol, excess caffeine, processed food with preservatives and colorants, tomatoes and genetically modified food (corn, soy etc). If you identify the culprit stop using it for a minimum of 3 months and then reintroduce it and see what happens.
- Foods such as chopped meat and starchy foods tend to interfere with the ileocecal valve and create intestinal cramping and pain in the upper back
- Drink enough water – dehydration is a major cause of inflammation
- Sleep at least 8 hours daily – trying to catch up on weekend does not work
- Learn and practice techniques of stress management – meditation, relaxation, contemplation, mindfulness
- Exercise moderately and regularly
- Chew your food carefully and do not drink while eating
- Avoid excess caffeine and alcohol
