Just eat healthy, sensible portions...don't spend a lot of money on wonder diets that just make the authors money.

I am a big believer that food is medicine and drugs are … Anyway, MS is an inflammatory disease so eating non-inflammatory food I think it a good idea. There are several recommended diets along those lines. The Wahl's diet (I can't stomach the idea of eating organ meat so I'm out on that one), then there's the Keto diet which Stanford recommends. Dr. Weil also has an inflammatory food pyramid that I think is helpful - you can Google that. My general process is to eat largely fruits and vegetables (mostly leafy greens). Limit bread, pasta and sugar. Eat only grass fed beef (maybe once a week). I think the diet helps. I certainly notice if I indulge in a big carby meal. My husband is diabetic (also an inflammatory disease), so we're able to support each other in our food choices. At the end of the day, MS is a very mercurial disease. What works for one person might not be as effective for another. You'll probably need to experiment and keep a diary so you can figure out what is working. Good luck.

YES! What we eat (and more so DON’T eat) makes ALL the difference! I’m so happy to say I can help you with this!

I’ve changed the way I eat, and have felt and seen a very real difference! I have been gluten-free for four years. I had severe pernicious and iron anemias (iron infusions every 8 weeks; B12 shots every week). Drs suspected Celiac Disease and ran loads of tests - missing some of the markers and damage associated with CD - was diagnosed with a “gluten intolerance”.

Here are the steps I followed to adopt a “gluten free” MS-friendly way of eating:(1) eliminates/avoid all things containing wheat, barley, rye, triticale (cross between wheat and rye), and non-gluten free oats, (2) Eliminated all (or as many as possible processed, boxed, canned foods. (3) As much as our food budget allows, buy only organic, whole foods (no preservatives, or chemical additives), I’ll warn you - it’s daunting at first, because it seems like there’s gluten in everything! Biggest surprises for me were soy sauce, ketchup and vodka!

Other things to explore/consider are diets created by doctors Swank (my 1st MS diet), and Wahls (who has progressive MS). I’m happy to share any of the info I have - MS diet books, links to my fav GF websites, cookbooks, favorite brands and recipes. Messsge me with your contact info if you’d like!

So, when I asked my neuro about lifesstule changes he recommended yoga and said there is evidence that a no animal protein diet shows promise. Im already no white flour and sugar, so I can’t speak to that. Many vegan recipes have sugar, so l’m eating lean chicken and fish. Feeling ok. Good luck!
