Dietary changes - eg overcoming MS

Hi all, my partner has MS (diagnosed summer last year) and so far she is doing great on treatment. I want to be doing whatever I can to support and I am the house cook a lot of the time. I see a lot of things out there about dietary changes (some of them quite extreme) and I was wondering whether anyone had found anything substantive had come from it? Of course if a change of diet will make a difference it is worth trying - we are healthy eaters anyway. But also I am wary of the negative impact of completely cutting off dairy / meat / alcohol / caffeine etc, as these are everyday pleasures. Would be great to hear people's experiences.

as if with all lifestyle changes, it's probably a good idea anyway but hard to tell if it'll affect the progression of MS. i wouldn't say it's really necessary to cut out any of the things listed above, although quitting smoking immediately is advisable. i added more fish to my diet and moved to a sunny place to reverse my vitamin D deficiency. more exercise is just as valuable as a better diet
