Hi -
My husband was diagnosed in the last year and we have been researching and reading everything we can. Thankfully my husband has only had one episode and has recovered (for now).
The whole idea of diet really resonates with both of us and we are completely changing the way that we eat (low sat fat, eliminating gluten, etc). From what we read, there is lots of data (not official studies), but still lots of information about how diet has kept MS at bay in many individuals. (Swank, Jelinek and now Terry Wahls) We are committed to changing our life to do everything we can to fight this disease.
My question is - are we being naive in thinking that this can really stop the progression (or at least slow it down). Everything we read seems to indicate that diet works, but are we missing something? Are there MSers out there where diet really does not make a difference.
Btw - this is not to say that we are not using DMDs - just that we want to fight MS on every possible front.
