Best Bet Diet

---

When I was first diagnosed with MS, I went to find a book which would say clearly "This what you have to do...." Silly me, what I found was 10 books telling me to do 10 different things.  But now I think I found a clear, direct direction, and after following it for a month or so,  I'd have to say that this is the way to go.

I always thought that what you put in your mouth had to have a influence, and this diet confirms that.  It's called the Best Bet Diet.  You can read about it here.

In brief, it's NO wheat (gluten), NO legumes (incl. soy) & NO dairy.  In addition, minimize refined sugar. Keep the Swank dietary dictums in mind too: minimize the amount of saturated fat you eat. They say you should take as many dietary supplements as you can afford - see this list of supplements.  Latterly Ashton Embry has recognized the importance of Vitamin D (and this link is a good if overly-detailed exposition).

I think the hard bit is giving up wheat (bread) and my suggestion is to start with that, and once you've got that under your belt (so to speak) the others are easy.

It helps to have a sympathetic partner, in my case a person who is willing to try it as well (it won't do them any harm either) and either yourself or your partner feel confident and comfortable in the kitchen.
