So I went to a general neuro and he said I had a problem with my brain, but didn't know what it was. His only advice was to cut out gluten in an effort to cure myself of my symptoms. He said this despite giving me a diagnosis. He called my GP up and told her the same thing and when I went to see her she strongly supported his recommendation.
Went to see an MS specialist shortly after (first neuro sent me) and when I told her she did not concur. Doesn't think gluten has anything to do with my health problems and did not support the gluten free diet. Only recommended more vitamin D.
Since I am desperate to get better I have cut the gluten out. Unfortunately I have seen no improvement. My husband thinks the whole thing is ridiculous and unsubstantiated. Can't understand why they would make diet recommendations without a diagnosis. Thinks I should listen to the MS specialist only and ignore the advice of the two others.
I am honestly so confused these days. So many conflicting opinions and advice, it's impossible to know who to trust and what to do. Anyone been given advice about dietary changes before and did it help?
