The most important thing to keep in mind about diet is that it is viewed as an ‘add on’ to scientific/medical treatment. It is also imperative to get medical advice from your health care team on any steps you wish to pursue. When you have a team they see all of your underlying conditions as well as your MS. They treat your over all health including what DMT you are prescribed. The suggestions that they provide are based off of a personalized work up of tests. A comprehensive understanding on your own underlying conditions helps, as each one of us comes with our own diagram. Disease progression is also a factor to consider when making plans or taking advice. Someone newly diagnosed or has RRMS may have different needs and projection than someone undiagnosed or with a progressive form of the disease. RRMS patients by diagnosis may have relapses or may have no further activity at all. Generally the time between flair ups is also spaced farther apart than more progressive forms. When taking suggestions from peers always cross check where they are in their MS journey. Consider when was this patient's last medical intervention with the disease. Are they likely to have another demyelinating episode. If you hear a suggestion that sounds interesting check with your medical team. Always crosscheck ‘scientific’ data for your self making sure that it is from a legitimate source. Stay away from sourced information that is designed to promote or sell an item or way if thinking. Most current medical/scientific dietary information on MS has conflicting evidence at this point. A ‘Good Diet’ will positively benefit anyone as long as it is tailored specifically for them. Some good dietary advice is to stay away from processed foods. Stick with whole grain breads. If you go gluten free be very careful to read the labels as you can actually do more harm than good by not doing so. Stay away from Saturated and trans fats. Eat ‘fresh’ fruits and vegetables, include anti-oxidized fruits like blueberries and strawberries. Limit sugars and salts. When it comes to dairy and cheese or becoming gluten free, there is conflicting results as to their benefit or harm. Check with your Dr.’s. Advocate for your self by understanding all of the medicines you are on. Learn how they interact positively or negatively with your diet. Someone could suggest that you cut out cheese and dairy from your regiment but you may need higher levels of calcium and vitamin D. If that was how you were supplementing naturally you may be taking an unnecessary risk if you delete it from your diet. “Above all else” ask your Dr.’s.
