I drink milk a lot for the calcium that I lost from radiation therapy for cancer. The milk doesn't seem to make me any worse nor does other milk products. I do not eat red meat and have always been easy on the salt, since my dad died of a heart attack

Yes except for the salty things-limit your salt intake, please. You can follow the Atkins or Keto/low carb diet but it would be best if it was short-term (I know someone who followed it longer than a year and additional benefits occured to her, sadly she's not on it anymore).

I do all of those. I drink a cup of milk every day. I do limit salt because of high blood pressure. Red meat when we can afford it, we mostly eat deer meat. It's red but very lean.

Based on research studying dietary habits in people with MS, consuming red meat has been linked to increased disability progression. One study found that meat consumption was associated with a 76% higher risk of progressive disability in people with MS.

Following a better quality diet and reducing meat consumption were both associated with slower disability progression in people living with MS. While the search results don't specifically address milk and salty foods, it's always best to discuss any major dietary changes with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific MS symptoms and overall health status.
