MS diet. Cutting out gluten and dairy ?
Hi Everyone. I haven't been diagnosed yet but I have had 2 relapses that were absolutely awful. Comparable to a round of Chemo since I had 4 rounds of that too. I need to make major changes in my eating and soaking up everything I can get my ears on since I've been bed ridden for day 25 now and my Dr diagnosed me with Vertigo. These are my symptoms.
Had chemo 16 months ago.
Symptoms new and after chemo
Feet Numb and burning 1 yr ( after chemo)
Pin prickling. Pins and needles bottom of feet. NEW
Body parts falling asleep NEW
Vision and hearing issues 1 yr
Muscle and Joint pains. Elbows quit working for 6 weeks(turmeric helps a lot)
Feels like Chest closing is in.
Swallowing is strange. Gets harder and food seems dryer.
Light headed and super dizzy. NEW. happened for 3 weeks ( twice in the last year )
Having to pee more often. 1 yr
Extreme fatigue. Aug/17. Feb/18
Mild headaches.
Slurred speaking and just stopping mid sentence and forgetting the word and getting distracted.
Blurry vision/6 mos.
double vision left eye. New.
burning eyes now.
Pain on the neck bone a lot now. 1 month
Jawbone and teeth nerves irritating me now new
Sex drive decreased a lot. 1 yr (after chemo)
Tremors and nerves twitching NEW
Concentrating is more difficult. Affects the brain while these attacks are happening.
Dry mouth. ( White toung). New.
Can't concentrate and slurring of speech and forgetting what I'm doing/saying in mid sentence. Feels like brain fog
Went to visit work and got anxiety for the first time of my life just watching everyone. Was crazy
Auto immune feels like brain has been poisoned like chemo. Had mono and Bell's palsy as a teenager
Constipation and diarrhea without 2 hrs apart.
What I'm most interested in regardless if I have MS or not I need to change my diet and cut out Gluten and Dairy and eat like this I think.

Just wondering if there is anyone that has been following this type of diet cuz cutting out bread and dairy is pretty extreme and I will do it
If I have to cuz I Can't afford another flare up but wanting to know if I have to be this extreme. There's balance in everything but I just wanted some insight if you guys have tried this and have had success.
Thx for reading.
@job777 , since you joined us three hours ago, you have made four posts extolling the benefits of diet. There's lots written about different diets, although the feeling is the healthier your diet, the healthier you feel. Given your extensive list of symptoms, I'd be more concerned as to why you have yet to get a diagnosis. Then you could be offered an appropriate treatment, to supplement your diet.
Thx Stumbler, yeah that's why I figured I would ask the question that if this really helps from ppl that have experience it in instead of just offering what I've been reading without having the proof. To answer your question my first flare up I thought I had beaver fever so disregarded MS or a dif auto immune disease. Wasn't only until 4 weeks ago that I finallly started logging my symptoms and it's difficult to see Dr.s where I am. Hospitals and doctors are something I seem to shy away from and our closest Neurologist is 5 hrs away and prob a 6 month waiting list. An MRI is months away to even get in so I'm going to a private one And paying 875$ this Thursday. I don't know about you but I think it's smart for all of us to try and gain health by cleaner eating, I just am afraid that going this extreme may cause a release of toxins that might do more harm so maybe easing into it may be smarter. I dunno that's why I'm asking for ppl that have actually tried it. I've made it clear that I'm just going to start it and have no advice if it will work so if that's extolling I'm guess I'm Guilty. I'm in the researching phase and everything I read that makes sense is leading to inflammation and infection in the body so the more we learn how to control these relapses the more we can protect our myelin. Lol
