Going dairy free over 10 years ago was a turning point for me, before that I was sick every day went to the toilet about 10 tines a day with the runs, was under 8 stone and too tired to hold a hairdryer or climb the stairs plus awful joint and muscle pain, migraines, real trouble thinking and remembering, recurring infections etc etc
....
The terrible gastric problems improved but I have to be careful, I avoid additives and processed foods, eat very little bread, pastry etc..
Along the way my GP consulted the rheumatology specialist & prescibed nortryptaline which helped me sleep much better.
I have to say if your wife gets a diagnosis of fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome it is hard to live with as it is mainly considered to be "MUPS" or medically unexplained symptoms and symptoms will probably be treated one by one rather than as part of one syndrome unless she is very very lucky and has a GP who "believes"...
I still have to pace myself very carefully or I wake up feeling like I have swine flu times 10. In fact I am still suffering today from just the extra 1/2 hour picking sloes

Duloxetine Appears Effective in Treating Patients With Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Doc guide reports: February 18, 2008 -- Patients with fibromyalgia syndrome appear to obtain better pain control with the selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor duloxetine.
Researchers led by Madelaine Wohlreich, MD, Medical Advisor, Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, attempted to determine whether treatment with duloxetine 120 mg daily for 3 months could reduce pain severity in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.
"Duloxetine 60 mg daily and 120 mg daily were superior to placebo during the 3-month treatment period on the coprimary measures, both in brief pain inventory average pain score and the patient's global impressions of improvement," Dr. Wohlreich said in her poster presentation February 14 here at the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) 24th Annual Meeting.
