Yes, certain foods can exacerbate CTS symptoms. High-sodium foods, often found in processed and salty snacks, can lead to water retention and increased swelling, worsening CTS-related discomfort. Additionally, highly processed foods with unhealthy trans fats and additives can promote inflammation, intensifying symptoms. Foods high in sugar and refined cellulose can cause blood sugar spikes, contributing to nerve issues and inflammation associated with CTS. Caffeine and alcohol, when devoured in excess, can lead to dehydration, potentially intensifying CTS-related discomfort. Individuals with CTS need to be mindful of their diet, especially regarding these trigger foods.
