Diet
Hi everyone!
I'm 20 and was diagnosed with MS at new year.
I've been doing some research about it and discovered that diet can bring on attacks or episodes. After this I changed my diet and have been feeling better for it!!
I've done things such as eliminate wheat products, dairy, refined sugar and caffeine, however as i'm a vegetarian my diet has become even MORE limited than before, as at the moment i'm only eating raw foods (fruit, veg, nuts and seeds) and taking vitamin D (either 1,000mg or 5,000mg [depending on how I'm feeling]).
Is anybody in the same position or could anybody add anything that I could possibly include in my diet, that I may be lacking in?
I look forward to hearing from you :) x
Hi there Poppylola I cannot offer you any advice but I am three weeks into being a vegetarian and not feeling good but I think that is due to the cold, As you are vegetarian can you advise on any tasty veggie dishes I am just about to tuck into a three bean chimmy changa and salad! x
Hi loulou, Did you decide to become a veggie, when you were diagnosed or before you were? Before I used to make stir fry (without the meat) with Broccoli, Pepper and some red onion, then put some spinach in at the end to wilt a little, with some sesame seeds. -Butternut squash, carrot and chilli soup -Mainly meze like things: hummus, falafel (as its gluten free), aubergine dip. -Pearl barley w/ pesto -Quinoa, beetroot, feta, walnut and spinach salad. The list goes on... If you're not feeling very well, take vitamins such as vitamin D (you can get from specialist stores), vitamin B and iron (due to a lack of red meat), they've helped me! :D Sounds lovely, enjoy!
