Despite all the claims made by the multitude of so-called "MS diets" to be found on the internet (and in books) there are no confirmed links between diet and MS which have any really solid scientific evidence to back them up. The "evidence" cited to "support" all of the diets is cherry-picked to suit which ever "protocol" a self-proclaimed "MS diet guru" is promoting. Unfortunately far too many PwMS don't have the research skills to look any further that whatever glossy webpage is on the screen in front of them and they get sucked into following these diets which won't actually do anything for their MS. Some of the saddest posts on any MS forum or board are those from people who are convinced that straying from the strict and narrow path of their chosen "MS diet" has caused them to relapse or progress, when this is not what happens. The unhealthy psychological manipulation and victim blaming that goes on with these diets is really damaging to many people. The one healthy thing that all of the "MS diets" have in common is their recommendation to cut out over-processed foods and eat more fresh vegies and fruit and there is no need to follow a special "MS diet" to achieve that. There is no need to cut out sat fat or dairy or gluten or grains unless someone has a properly diagnosed medical condition that requires this - none of these are proven to affect MS at all. The reality is that a healthy diet for a PwMS is exactly the same as a healthy diet for a person without MS. In people who are already vulnerable to "persuasion" due to them having a chronic incurable disease, becoming an overzealous follower of any restrictive diet for any reason runs a higher than usual risk of developing a newly recognised eating disorder called orthorexia - an obsession with "healthy" eating. If you want to write a really interesting research paper then looking at some of the bad aspects of these diets and the risks of orthorexia posed by the proliferation of special diets and "clean eating" on social media and the internet would probably score you really high marks as these aspects of diets are rarely considered - especially as so many people convince themselves that links between diet and some chronic incurable medical conditions actually exist.

I personally have taken one of those intolerance tests which showed dairy and gluten as producing an immune response, apparently that's in a high percentage of people regardless of whether they have MS or not. Although those tests aren't 100% accurate, pretty much everything dairy and gluten was highlighted as red! I also don't stick to it all the time, as in if I'm free 6 months of the year, that's 6 months I've not got immune system reactive stuff in my body which gives me some positive peace of mind. I don't know what it holds for me in the long run (I'm on Ocrevus which batters my immune system down anyway!) but doing something positive like this helps me in my mind of nothing else. As has been said the research that's been done regarding diet specifically just hasn't been properly researched enough IMO.
