I was dxed in 2009 and have been on Rebif since. I have been fine with the injections but my concern is the more so the antidepressant. I was and sometimes still am having a heck of time with appetite. I most times do not feel hungry, and my MRIs don't seem to be getting much better either. :/
In June of this year I decided to look into Nutritional Healing. I have been Gluten and Casein Free (Wheat and Dairy) since July 8th.
In my discussions with my nutritionist and my gastroenterologist they seem to believe that I have a gluten sensitivity/allergy and that it has over the years manifested itself in my brain...to keep it simple.
I had extreme withdrawals from gluten/casein for a few weeks. I felt great for the first week but then I started having a weird chemical type reaction. I was extremely angry and emotional for a few days, and then a couple times a week for a couple weeks after that . Finally things have tapered off and I feel normal (as I can be anyway) again.
I am going in for MRI's in Dec. and I am hoping to stay GFCF until then. My neuro does not know what I am doing yet, I dont feel that I can really talk to him either tho. I have heard great things about this approach, and I have heard MDs do not like it.
Has anyone here tried this approach? Im very committed to being gfcf, there's absolutely nothing wishy washy about this new lifestyle. I want to see my MRIs getting better and I really hope this is the key.
