Thank you for the welcome ! I think there is a surge of awareness regarding

gluten intolerance. I experiment alot in my health and I found that gluten

definitely had a huge impact on how I felt. It wasnt easy though and it did take

several years of punishing myself with weening myself off of it mainly by eating

it and then regretting it. Alcohol was easier despite it being a part of my

daily life for 10 years and my love for wine. But I notice the next day how

horrible I feel, so it made it easier. I also cut out 90% of sugar in my diet.

The last to go is caffeine and coffee. This is gonna be tough. I have not come

across the Best Bet Diet (BBD), thanks for the recommendation I will check it

out.

Hi ,

Here's a link to BBD info:

http://www.ms-diet.org/

Before MS came along, I used to do periodic colon and liver cleanses. I would

always go off of coffee then but eventually it would sneak back into my life.

lol I started BBD in Feb '08 and in Oct '08 I tried to treat myself to a

one-shot espresso made with rice milk at a local coffee house. I had a

reaction. I was so sad to know that I couldn't even treat myself

occasionally. Recently, I was looking at maca root as a substitute, but I

decided to try yerba mate first instead (mainly because it's a lot easier to

find locally), and I've been happy with that. It does contain caffeine, though,

so it's a treat and not an everyday thing. For sweetener, agave nectar is my

favorite. Some people have a hard time wrapping their brain around the fact

that I don't have sugar in my home. lol

Some of the other things that I'm doing are acupuncture, detoxing, fasting, some

herbs/supplements in addition to those on the BBD. I had lots of symptoms and

got rid of them all EXCEPT when I eat something I have a reaction to. I keep a

food diary to help me prevent this. I recently had to cut out eggs after

suspecting them for a while, going off of them for a while, then testing.

Hi,

Â

A good diet is helping me. I read " MS recovery diet " by Ann D. Sawyer &

Judith E. Bachrach

Â

A good site she should explore is www.hacres.com

It's a strict diet but she would have to slowly ease into it.

Click on testimonies and read...they have a lot of good info if you have time to

read.

Â

Also look into LDN ...it is the only low dose drug I take for MS and my symptoms

haven't got worse in over a year. They also have a (LDN) yahoo groups w/ lots of

great info.

The site to look at is www.lowdosenaltrexone.org

Â

Make sure you get her good wheatgrass and she drinks twice a day w/ her fresh

fruit juice.

It has so many different vitamins. I order from the uk bc I'm in Europe...I can

give you the site if you're in Europe.

Â

Hope all goes well for her.

Helena

My goal is to find out all I can and hear about the diet alternatives and

success stories coming from them. I do not take CRAB drugs, nor do I want

to. I do not even want to discuss them, because I can't take them and they

are of no use for me. I am allergic to most of them. So my only way to

fight and be completely successful with MS and let my body heal itself is to

learn all I can about certain diets. I know that diet plays a major role

with any disease, regardless of what most Dr.'s state. I have had great

success without any CRAB drugs so far with first using the Swank Diet, then

tweaking that more to a Candida Free diet, then I heard about the Paleo Diet

and now the BBDiet. I am trying to find one that would work best for me,

that I can live with for the rest of my life. I need help from others who

are fighting the same battle to help me fully research these diets and learn

all I can about food and it's effects on the body.

Thank you,

Yvette B.

Welcome Yvette, You've come to a place where diet has become an issue for most

of us. I'll tell you my latest discovery. I had a hair mineral analysis and

learned my mineral profile (at least the minerals that were detoxing through my

hair) and my metabolic type. I've been eating a diet for my metaboic type and

taking the appropriate supplements ever since. I feel better than I did when I

was eating another way.

It's good that you have an open mind about the foods that you eat. Not everyone

needs to eat the same diet.

They do overseas customers. After I found out my metabolic type I had to find a

diet that worked for me. I'm doing a diet that corrects my digestive system

(GAPS) and it fits in to what I should eat according to my metabolic needs. I'm

hoping that this diet will make me balanced and solve many problems that I

intensified by eating the wrong kinds of foods for so long. The test gave me

direction.

My MS started that way too and 14 years later I have got rid of the numbness

apart from in the soles of my feet. I believe gluten removal was the big thing

that helped me. I've been following the Best Bet Diet (BBD) for 3 years and

slowly improving.

Good luck and welcome.

Welcome .

I used to get the sunburning feeling but it just disappeared and I wasn't

actively fighting MS in those days.

Diet is so important - read up on the Best Bet Diet (BBD) in archives here or on

MSRC's website.

There are loads of ways to help MS naturally - look through the files here and

ask any questions.

I refused to use prescription meds all my life, as well as OTC painkillers

etc. In my sixties my cholesterol level and BP started creeping up. I got

my cholesterol down with diet and exercise, but couldn't control my BP.

Afraid of stroke, I'm now on 3 BP meds, but so far only Baclofen for MS, as

it seems to help with the stiffness.

I take a dozen supplements, but not nearly as many as are recommended on

some of the MS web sites and discussion groups. I'm still trying to sort

out what really works.

I look forward to hearing the experience of people in this mscured group.

Thanks!

Hello, I am 50 and have MS for 10 years that I know of. It was confirmed

with MRI, spinal tap, optic neuritis. Ive taken steroids, use Copaxone which

I hate and am on mega pills for every complaint I have which are many. I am

desperate, Im trying accupuncture Monday. I take Vit D, cranberry and Vit C

along with my many meds. I would love to join your group. Thanks

April 9, 2010

Don't despair Kate. You will find lots of ideas in this group - have a look

through the archives.

Acupuncture is indeed one that helps many, as is CST (cranio-sacral therapy) and

yoga. The Best Bet Diet (BBD) which basically excludes all gluten grains, all

milk products and legumes (peas, beans and pulses) is very effective for many,

including myself.

Rather than taking a band-aid (one of the ABC type drugs that often are just

masking symptoms), it is possible to treat yourself alternatively. Diet,

exercise, supplements, etc.

Welcome to the group and enjoy your acupuncture session on Monday.

Janet

My brother has MS--and has had it for about 30 years. I'm very interested

in whatever others find helpful regarding fewer symptoms, reverse of

symptoms, etc, using new findings.

Thank you very much. Carol

Hi, my name is Dayna and I am 37. I have had multiple sclerosis for a year

and a half. I had just had a baby when this happened. I have a suspicion

that the epidural triggered this. I was planning on having my baby at home,

but my midwife quit on me. I should have done my homework and found a good

dependable midwife. I'm trying to learn not to go back to the past because

it just hurts. I have taken zero drugs for this condition. I am doing

everything naturally; hoping to regain my health asap. I have never felt

such torment to my body as MS. I feel weighed down and heavy. I have had

all kinds of different symptoms; paresthesia, electrical feelings. pins and

needles in extremities, and so on. Some of the weird sensations have been

alleviated. I am doing the best that I can with diet and drinking lots of

h2o, supplements, rebounding and so on.

After child birth is a very trying time for most, but when you have MS it is

widely reported that the decrease in your hormones will have an effect on

MS. they beleive it is Estirol (SP) that is the culprit. I myself had my

first blown attack after my second child, and had no epidural. In hindsight

I had symptoms in my early 20's, pre children and wasn't tillafter my 2nd

that I had very definitive symptoms. Premenstrual is a very delicate time

for me so I always will try to avoid occasions at this time of the month.
