What is the ideal multiple sclerosis diet? Is there any such thing? We all know that a well-balanced diet helps to maintain overall good health, and this is particularly true for MSers. There are plenty of MSers who have experimented with going vegan, gluten free or dairy free, or have tried specialist diets like the paleo or wahls diet. Speak to others about their experiences of diet and nutrition and the impact this has had on their multiple sclerosis.
