Hi Snuzzer
Trying to find for you some threads that have members sharing about the supplements that are beneficial to them.
Here's one I've found so far:

Is this similar to what you are looking for?
Take care,

Thank you KoKo!
Yes, that gives me a way to figure out a good combination!
I wish some company would do a supplement grouping for MS and for other illnesses like Lupus, etc. (Like you can buy the Bone Health mix etc. so you only took one or two pills a day to get all the supplements you need. If they can do multi-vitamins couldn't they come up with something like this?
Any thoughts?Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth. Unknown

By far the best spices/herbs are onions and garlic they are strongly anti-inflammatory.
Inflammation not only increases the damage caused by active lesions, but more importantly allows immune cells (that causes lesions) to cross the blood brain barrier into the brain.
Nutritiondata.com is a great source for food info.
Off the charts are “Peppers, hot chile, sun-dried” but how much of that can you eat, if any.
I have been using amore sweet pepper they are not nearly as good, but still good.Give life meaning, live life by the 9 Noble Virtues.

You didn't say what exactly you mean by "stomach problems"? Clarify, I might be able to give you a better answer.NutritionTara
