Re: MS and diet

[Guest guest]

Lolita,

I've seen a lot of information about mercury toxicity/chelation and the MS

connection, but not the diet. We are chelating our son 3 yrs old who has

been on the GFCF diet for about a 1.5 yrs. I have a cousin who has MS and

in my research for my son, I always look at anything that pertains to MS and

pass that along to her. Good luck with your daughter!!!!

Yes, our local MS support group has several people on a GF diet and we've

sent them some samples for one of their meetings where they spoke about

this. I don't think there's any research on it's effectiveness but my

experience has been that many people with autoimmune disorders think they

see some help from avoiding gluten...and perhaps casein. If it helps...even

a bit
