RE: Re: Food and lifestyle restrictions (ot)

How often do we measure what we have to give up against what we have had (our past experience is "the best")? I approached dieting that way for many years, and consistently failed. Being diagnosed with MS finally "forced" me to give it a real try. The Best Bet diet is a challenge, but guess what? There are great benefits, and a lot of new foods, etc. out there to discover and enjoy!

I have gained much more than I have lost. IT IS WORTH IT!!!

You can argue all you want that diet has no effect on MS (no clinical studies, right?), but I will never believe it. For me, my "best bet" is LDN plus the Best Bet diet. And right now, I am feeling pretty good! Most people I have talked to that feel diet plays no role feel that way because they have given up too soon, or have not followed a diet like BBD that has some science behind it. We all want a quick and painless fix that doesn't require us to take any responsibility ourselves. Sorry folks, it just doesn't work that way!

I couldn't of said it better myself. . . . you're right on . The majority of people who turn their nose up at the right diet simply don't want to spend the time it takes to incorporate one into their lives. It's not a diet it becomes a part of your life. After a while you don't even have to think about it, it comes pretty naturally. I'm glad it's working for you! Happy 4th of July

I see that someone responded to your question, mentioning fruits, etc. Check out the BBD website (ms-diet.org) - I'm sure you will find some good info. There are plenty of good natural fiber options available; I also occassionally take a powdered organic barley grass juice supplement for constipation (name brand is Green Magma), and I take Primal Defense, a probiotic.

I have a question about the BBD. How do you get enough fiber if you can't have gluten? I want to try this but have awful digestive trouble.

thanks
