Wheelchair bound, eat mostly fruit and vegetables. Sometimes a little grilled chickn
At least I stopped gaining all the weight I previously lost. Am wheelchair bound now. But years ago, used to walk 4 miles in an hr 3 times a week. I'm glad I did that back then. Now, I don't want to gain that weight backOriginally posted by Optimistictruth View PostI have had MS for 13 years and I have now noticed that it is urgent that I change me diet but I have not found one that helps MS patients specifically or increase muscle being as though walking is very limited and belly fat has seem to collect fast from itting so often.

My idea is I may not be able to control MS but I can control my diet. I don't want to pile trouble upon trouble. I don't want to gain weight for lack of activity and too much food or the wrong food choices (junk food, processed food, convenience food). These things are a rare exception, not the daily norm.
A good diet and good eating habits will help keep a healthy weight but the only way to increase muscle is to exercise. Do what you can, even if it's using a band in your chair or lifting your legs up and down in your chair.
I have come to believe that no diet specifically helps heal MS but some diets do keep you healthier overall, which does help MS in a way.
Not officially diagnosed due to non-MS-specific spots on MRIs, but the neurologists all agree it's MS.
Frustrated. January 2019: finally saw an MS specialist worth seeing. Maybe we'll get to the bottom of this.
EDSS of 5.5, sometimes 6.0
