6 trigger foods that cause agonizing pain if you have neuropathy

2. Trans fats

High-fat diets that are loaded with trans fats, also known as “unhealthy fats,” can cause
inflammation and raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, which can worsen peripheral neuropathy.

Consuming a well-balanced diet that’s low in trans fat can help reduce your risk of triggering nerve pain.

Fried fast foods, such as fried chicken, battered fish, doughnuts, french fries, and mozzarella sticks, can all contain high levels of trans fat.

Instead, focus on eating moderate amounts of monounsaturated fats from food sources like avocados, almonds, and some flax seeds, which have heart-protective omega-3 fatty acids.
