![4 Common Foods that Make Multiple Sclerosis Worse [AVOID THIS]: Gut Health Expert](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1yvbtpQUDzI/mqdefault.jpg)
Are you avoiding foods that might be causing harm? Are there others that you might add to the list?
Haven't been diagnosed, but recently had lesions in my brain scan show up. Anyway, I've always knew diet was important but had no idea how important it is for the brain! That goes for everyone too. I disagree with the dairy part, there is a small part of the population (Europeans and their decendants), that tolerate dairy well. Cheese maybe not so much. Im trying to avoid wheat products all together and eat more fish. Difficult when you are landlocked in the central US. Thank you for the video.
@@KatiTheButcher thanks for watching!
Yes, McDonald’s Fries!!😂
@@grinch4567 oh yes, French fries are so tempting!

….but resisted (in my case) - I’m following the OMS diet 🤔
I was recently diagnosed with MS. I have a young child and want to live well for as long as God gives me life to see her grow. I now know, it begins with what I eat.
Hi Juliet! Thanks for watching. I have no doubt that you will live long and see your child grow. Good on you for taking care of yourself! I really does make a difference when we take exquisite care of ourselves.
what you say is true but I don't think it did for me. Elevated levels of stress can cause all sorts of conditions and auto immune conditions are one of them. I can't think of anything else. Definitely no genetic as I am the only one in my family tree who has it. Still, life goes on and I don't worry about it.
Most certainly, you need the food that nourishes your body. Food that contains the most nutrient dense nutrition, which comes in all animal products. Check out dr. Shawn Baker and all his testimonials. There are people on there who have healed themselves from MS and all sort of afflictions. Be wise. Eat what your body is made of which is protein and fat. Not oils! Instead, natural chicken, or beef fat, or butter. The very best to you.
I adopted a PBWF diet in 2011 when I got diagnosed with MS. Coming from a standard American Trash Panda Diet, I was experiencing a remission in my symptoms for about 3 months, then experienced increasing disability for the next 8 years. It wasn't until I adopted a high-fat carnivore diet in 2021(984 days ago) that I stopped having relapses and my MRI's showed my lesions are shrinking/disappearing
Thanks for watching. I am happy you are doing well but caution you that the long term peer reviewed research clearly shows that a diet high in saturated fats and low in fiber is worse for MS outcomes.
I am 69 years old and newly diagnosed and frightened! Your videos help me greatly! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Karen! Being frightened is completely normal! You may feel ALL the emotions over the next year or two as you adjust to your diagnosis. Please be gentle with yourself and try to take exquisite care of yourself. I am so glad my channel is helping!
I’m fairly new to this too just being diagnosed at 56. I’m working on cleaning up my diet. So far I’m pretty asymptomatic but I have been on Mayzent for the last 3 months. I totally agree whole foods are the way to go with plenty of water, exercise, sleep and stress management … I’m so glad to have found your channel and am excited to listen to more! Thank you 😊 and good luck to the newly diagnosed lady… this is scary stuff but a positive attitude and knowledge are great defenses against progression 🤗
@@maggiecamperlengo6734 thanks for watching! Keep me posted on how you are doing!
HUG! Please do not be frightened, you will find your new normal!! I was diagnosed 201 years ago right after my first baby was born! I was terrified!!!!! It has been a crazy journey since then, but I just ...keep on going!! I am now 53. I am actually still healing and improving from my first attacks! The body has an amazing ability to heal. Listen to your docs, .listen to your body, eat well, sleep well, excercise well, and find joy in your days, and you will ... find your new normal, and it will be fine!! :) be well!!
@@JennyLory such a lovely response. I love this community! 💕
Dear Vicki.. MS since January.. thanks for your help and advice I have followed your words and
Now.. I feel in control of my problem.. I have given your help to others.. Blessings, Christine c
Good morning Christine. Thanks so much. I am so glad you are feeling in control!
Respectfully disagree. A few years after I was diagnosed I started the Ketogenic diet and ate 80% of my diet as fat and saturated fat. All things improved. My blood pressure went down, my HDL skyrocketed to the level that it’s considered protective of heart health. Then I went on holidays and fell off of keto and switched to a mostly vegetable lifestyle and over two years I progressed to being unable to walk. I went back on Keto again recently and as soon as I was back in ketosis everything started improving again. I don’t diets are a one size fits all. Mine works for me.
Thanks for watching. I am so glad keto is working for you. We absolutely can disagree. Be well!
As soon as I moved to low carb high fat (ketogenic) eating, my symptoms cleared up as well. I've been without issue and no further changes on my MRIs since 2015. I would never remove clean animal proteins and real fats from my diet (trans fats are not included in this, they're man made.) Sugar and ultraprocessed foods are the real bio-disruptors, I avoid them.
Wow
Since i've been on the Carnivore diet,,,all my symptoms are better
Same here! Proof is in the results!
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I have MS and got off all my meds by going Vegan and juicing daily. No meds since 2009. Now I'm an Integrative Health Practitioner. Some of this I didn't know myself. Great video. Glenn
Thanks so much Glenn! Sounds like you are living your best life!
@@EvenSoItIsWell For the most part...Yes. Just need to fix my back. Just had my 4th Spinal Fusion. 6th total back surgery. Hopefully this was the last. Swimming only for the future.
@@FitAfter40-ks7zq wow! That is a lot of surgery. I hope they are helping.
WARNING. I cut back salt and then was told by a doctor i had to ADD salt as i had low SODIUM in my blood which can become dangerous. i was sent to a nutritionist, as i am struggling to eat . she told me MIX IT UP. so i try. I added more food with some fats in it. I eat a better diet now and my bloods are excellent with good B compounds, B12 Vitamin D, not anemic have good levels of all the good stuff magnesium etc.
for me having MS for 23 years the worse thing for MS is STRESS.
Good on you for seeking the advice of a nutritionist. Yes, stress is really bad for us. I will be doing a video on stress soon.
Himalayan salt with 88 trace minerals may help. Zn/Mg/Vit D3/coenzymated B vitamins/Vit B12 methylcobalamin shot and more may help.
I was told to add salt also.
Love your intuitive, & researched, wisdom, plus your energy! You are a bright Light!
Thanks for watching and your comment. 🙂 I hope you are doing well!
Thanks for this helpful information.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I love how you list your sources. I'm watching this for my sister.thanks
Thanks for watching! What a nice sister you are!
I've learned all I know about MS watching TH-cam, because my doctor is terrible. She will not tell me anything or refer me to other specialist for my "secondary MS" symptoms, like incontinence. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! I am so glad you find the videos helpful.
Thank you for the information it has been a long 5 years with MS for me but, I'm learning more and more every day and I'm blessed to live in a world where people share life-saving knowledge thank you. #BostonPalmTreez
Thanks so much for watching! Knowledge is power! 🙂
1) Trans & saturated fats
-> they cause vascular
inflammation, contribute to
heart disease
2) Refined (simple) carbs
e.g. white flour, white sugar
3) Dairy
Butyrophilin (protein) linked to MS
4) Salt
Linked w/ relapses
5) Gluten
If you are celiac or gluten intolerant
Thanks so much! Please feel free to share the video as well!
@@EvenSoItIsWell will do 👍
My uncle has had MS for years
...maybe 15 or so 🤔
He told me recently that he doesn't have the kind that relapses
Very interesting that dementia is becoming viewed as a cardiovascular disease, directly related to lifestyle & diet, rather than just a brain disease.
I also read that dementia is *not* a norm of aging. Interesting considering how common it is. Have to keep taking care of the body via diet & lifestyle throughout the life cycle. Keep moving, keep healthy blood flowing, keep arteries as clear& elastic as possible
@@ilexevergreen5405 yes!! I have been following the research about dementia. Have you heard of the blue zones? Areas of the world where people live well into their 90s healthy and without major cognitive issues.
@@EvenSoItIsWell en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_zone
Yes, have long heard about how healthy Okinawan lifestyle is 👍
Bravo!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video! I feel like each of us can feel when certain foods are not right for us. For example, I feel my symptoms worsen when I eat gluten or use sunflower oil specifically. Carbonated drinks also make me bloated and give me inflammation almost immediately
Thanks for watching. Good on you for being in tune with your body and how foods affect it.
Myelin is made of saturated fat. Grouping trans and saturated fats together is misleading .
Misleading in what way? I explained the health risks of each independently. Yes, myelin does have saturated fat, but it is created by our bodies, it is not created from the saturated fat we consume.
Lecithin/fish oil/evening primrose oil/Krill oil may help. Cod liver oil already has Vit D/Vit A. Coconut flakes may help the brain, but limited...may break small blood vessels. Progesterone/Vit B12 methylcobalamin may help Myelin/thyroid/bones/adrenals/stress etc... Olive oil may be ok...rub on legs...has Vit E for circulation. Folate with Vit B12/5000mcg of biotin/120mg of ginkgo and more may help. Osteoprocare instead of dairy may help. Glands need cholesterol to make hormones. Low fat diet may hurt missing the good fats.
@@EvenSoItIsWell There are no risks of saturated fats alone. Saturated fats are healthy and are NEEDED for the synthesis of myelin and for an overall brain health.
Saturated fat is the form body stores it's energy and it is the optimal fuel for your mitochondria.
The only situation where saturated fat is not optimal is when combined with sugar (fructose/sucrose). There is a good evidence now that fructose makes mitochondria be less effective which when combined with saturated fat leads to "overheating" of mitochondria which is the root cause of most chronic diseases and plays also a role in autoimmune conditions.
Saturated fat alone (without sugar) is perfectly healthy and it is the best source of energy for human body (otherwise the body would not store it's long term energy in this form, anyway)...
Sadly the adventists / vegan propaganda is spreading a lot of missinformation and many "studies" are conducted by people who believe that animal is bad for religious reasons, trashing the scientific literature with a lot of nonsense...
@@btudrus thanks for watching. Some of the largest and most respected studies show the risks of saturated fats such as the Nurses Health Study with over 70,000 participants and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study with over 40,000 participants. The China Study which is one of the largest population studies ever done show the adverse health effects as well.
For MS specific outcomes the research of Dr. Roy Swank and the HOLISM study show those with a lower saturated fat diet fair better in the long run.
All that said, I completely agree with you on sugar. Highly processed foods like sugar are really toxic.
If you have studies you’d like to share on saturated fats, I would be happy to read them.
Saturated Fat Good...refined seed oils Bad
The most important thing to avoid when having autoimmune conditions like MS are plants and plant foods.
The reason is because 1) all plants contain phytotoxins / plant-defense-chemicals, 2) many plants contain sugar (especially fruit). Of course, processed plants are far the worst.
Agree to disagree on this one Brutus. I will say that, yes, highly processed foods are a problem.
I feel so much better since going carnivore. Been at it just a few weeks and already feel the difference! I've tried these things in the past 15 years, giving each one a minimum 6 month test period to see the results: vegetarian, vegan, Atkins, paleo, low carb, plant based, and elimination diet. I also got fat on vegetarian and vegan because I was never satiated, and so I over ate in an attempt to make the hunger pains go away. So far carnivore is working the best.
@@winniecash1654 Was on carnivore and developed ms symptoms. Getting an MRI soon.
I am from #Nepal🇳🇵 & thank you for your valuable #knowledge today bz of your advice many people had sucesfully #reversed their Ms & other #chronic diseases from their life. You are #angle mam❤
Thanks for watching!
I am aslo suffering from MS kindly guide to get better. I am from Sikkim
You said no dairy, but I find probiotic yoghurts are good and I put blueberries or mixed berries in plain or greek yoghurt which makes me feel better.
Also, I eat more rice and fish (I admit I sometimes eat 2 min microwave packet rice for quickness and mix extra veg with spinach from the freezer & tinned fish such as mackerel or sardines & add extra turmeric to the rice) Better than pizza and am starting a more Mediterranean style diet.
I sip more water through the day too and drink green tea or peppermint/ other herbal teas with honey.
Take vitamin D3 and B12 supplements too. Haven't had a major flare up since 4 years ago with optical neuritis when I was diagnosed with MS. Now taking Aubagio tablets.
Had complete numbness in both legs on and off for about 10 years before that, they didn't know what caused it at the time.
Thanks for watching! Good on you for making changes to your diet to improve your health! Any changes we make for the better are beneficial. No, I don’t eat any dairy. The research shows that eating a low saturated fat diet is best for us and there is also a link with the protein Butyrophilin found in dairy and MS. That said, you can certainly eat if if you wish. 🙂
Dairy is not good but curd/yoghurt & certain cheeses are good & exceptions , also healthy for a very large section of population.
Side note: your glasses game is un-matched!!
Thanks! They are a fun accessory!
I know all this but have had major stess in my life over the holidays and started feeding that stress and that is just a snowball that just grew. I know my diet has not helped my condition. I have found that it has not reversed my ms but it will definitely make it worse
Thanks for watching. We feed our stress sometimes but we can get back to healthy eating and habits. 🙂
It may just be splitting hairs, but couldn't yogurt & cheese technically be considered fermented foods (and no longer "dairy") , and thus important & good for a healthy gut microbiome -- which could help to decrease leaky gut.
Moving on, our brain is a fatty organ as you point out early on. What types of fats ARE needed to optimize brain & mylein sheath preservation & replacement? A future video perphaps?
Thank you for creating this channel. Be well.
Thanks Kevin! Yogurt and cheese still have the saturated fat and the protein butyrophilin so it is best to avoid them. Look for alternative fermented foods like soy yogurt, kimchi, and kombucha.
Yes we definitely need fats in our diets. Most of us are deficient in omega 3s and I will be posting a video this coming week on foods to eat to support our CNS. I will give you a sneak peak-eat whole plant based food that are rich in omega 3s such as hemp hearts, chia seeds, flax seeds, Brussels sprouts, walnuts, edamame, kidney beans, wild rice and kale!
I tolerate greek yogurt well. I haven't been diagnosed yet fyi.
This might not be the answer you are looking for. I've been diagnosed with SIFO caused by aspergillus. To repair my gut, I'm on a limited deit. In a nutshell, I'm basically carnivore, until my gut heals. Then I'll bring back safe things to eat. Why carnivore? Because I've also found out that gluten tears me up inside. And while I'm at it, I'm going low oxalate, no lectins, and fodmap. You might see the complexity here. It's easier to just cut out all plants until my gut heals. I'm under the care of a functional medicine doctor. The only fats I eat now are what's provided in the meat, eggs, and butter. I'm not saying this is the diet for you but an example of a tailored diet based on my needs. I'll bring back olive oil when I'm able. By the way, the knee pain which I've suffered from for 10 years is completely gone. This is just on diet alone. Brain fog is lifting, and so is fatigue.
Hi, Kevin! My doctor says yogurt is good for microbiome and it can be considered not dairy because the lactose was broken by the "bacilo lático" into fructose and glucose, sugar from fruit. So it's good to take a tablespoon now and then. But cheese, he said was junk food. It was removed from the food piramid in 2011 by Harvard Medical School. It causes cancer (John Hopkins stated) and plaques that can cause a stroke if in the brain and a heart attack, if in the heart.
Mixing fat with any carb (veggies, fruit, sugars, flour, rice, etc) is a dangerous combination.
Interesting theory. Can you cite the research?
Post a list of the foods here?
So that we can copy & share!!
No gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO/heated oils/food with a label.....taking vitamins/good oils/minerals...probiotic....LDN...detoxing....Vit D3/sunlight may help. Hair test to see good minerals/heavy metals may help. Orthobiotic before a meal and HCl and enzymes with meals may help. Zn/Mg/fish oil/evening primrose oil/lecithin/lecithin/coenzymated B vitamins/coenzyme Q10/rhodiola/Nature's plus- Source of life multiple/Vit C/Vit E/Vit A/Amour thyroid (by free T3/free T4...do not use TSH)/progesterone may help the myelin/stress/adrenals/bones/thyroid etc.. Certain fats may clog blood vessels. Krill oil may help. Coconut flakes may help the brain, but may clog blood vessels. Olive oil may help scars/has Vit E. Cod liver oil has Vit D/Vit A already. A food diary of what is eaten/supplements/medicine/symptoms/comments daily may help. Electrodermal testing may help or Zyto scan to test for infections. Avoiding antibiotics/drugs/vaccines etc.. may help and natural only help. Vit B12 methylcobalamin shot or under the tongue kind with folate may help. 5000mcg of biotin may help. LDN may help block hidden gluten. Gluten may hurt the gut lining so less nutrients absorb. Hidden gluten maybe in nuts not sold in the shell/meat basting in deli meat or turkey etc../some spices/air/lotions/food with a label/gluten free food may hurt. Gluten is in wheat/barley/rye...oats/corn/rice. Rice is low in gluten. Wild rice has no gluten...is a grass. Asian diet veg/rice/protein...antibiotic free eggs/lemon or lime water/tea and more may help. Organic food/sunlight/grounding...touching the soil/exercise/pets/prayer and more may help. Zn/Se/enough iron/probiotic may help thyroid medicine to work better to convert T4 to T3 which is active. Low sugar may help. Ozone treatm/Lyme herbs/Vit K2/EDTA IV chelations and more may help. Milk thistle/dandelion at night with lots of water. NAC/Se or glutathione may help. Stress may use up Zn/B vitamins and progesterone. Purpose in life...feed birds/pick up trash etc... Exercise makes more mitochondria (engines of the cells). People can heal. A chiropractor/Functional or Alternative doctor/Dr. Berg or Dr. Jockers on their sites and TH-cam/Rumble videos on health...Dr. Ardis and more may help.
Raw walnuts are great...open shells to avoid hidden gluten. Red Light therapy is also great...helps mitochondria...eyes/thyroid etc..
thank you goddess!
You are welcome! So glad to see your latest video and you are doing well!

I’m tending to minimise salt intake because (a) it seems to affect my cognitive functioning adversely, (b) I have noticed that often things recommended for Cardiac patients, are also recommended for MS patients 👍🙏
Good on you for taking good care of your health and minimizing salt. There are so many commonalities with heart health and brain health.
@@EvenSoItIsWell
Thank you. I seem to think we’ve “spoken” on here before - probably because I was curious about the origin of, “Even so, it is well” but does that ring any bells? 🙂
We may have spoken before! I do get quite a few comments so I am not 100% sure. "Even So It Is Well" is a line from one of my favorite hymns. It reminds me that no matter what happens, I will be ok.

Thought so 😊
Praise The Lord!! 🙏
Hi, i would like to know whether intermittent fasting and water fasting will help the immune system.
The research is showing it can be helpful with gut health, symptom management, and possibly help with progression. It can definitely help with some co-morbid conditions. I do time restricted eating and find that I feel better.
www.verywellhealth.com/fasting-and-ms-5323684
Fasting too long may reset the body so microscopic gluten may hurt and burn out adrenals. Fasting may help you see which foods hurt and which foods help. Milk thistle/dandelion at night may help detox and help the liver/kidneys. Not eating until hungry may help. Some skip breakfast and eat lunch/supper.
Are you familiar with the work of Mary Newport, M.D.? She is one of the pioneering researchers in the area of utilizing medium-chain fatty acids (MCT’s) in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Although she has focused primarily on the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s, her findings apply to MS “cog fog” as well.
Thanks Cynthia. I have seen that there are preliminary studies on ketones as fuel for people with Alzheimer’s, but most of the data is anecdotal. I haven’t seen anything about it for MS cog fog. I would be happy to read it if you have a study to share. I did see a study released jut last week that showed a whole food plant based diet and lifestyle changes help dementia patients improve in just 20 weeks.
Dr. Newport’s research is ongoing. However, she has authored several books that reference studies performed up to this point. I would love to be a vegan, but my diagnosis includes an inability to digest disaccharides and polysaccharides (sugars and starches). As a retired nutrition professional, I have seen, first-hand, the fact that dietary requirements reflect the old maxim, “Different strokes for different folks.” The only solution? Trial and error. (Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were a “one size fits all” protocol?)
Is wheat flour any good ?many thanks
I use wheat flour. Many avoid gluten but we really only need to avoid if we have Celiac’s disease or are gluten sensitive. I do try to avoid white flour as it is highly processed and has removed the fiber and nutrients from the whole grain.
What are your thoughts on coconut milk being high in saturated fat?
I avoid coconut milk because of the saturated fat. Thanks for watching!
I think you need to do more research on Saturated Fats
The research of some of the largest health studies like the EPIC study, the China Study, and The Nurses Health study all show that saturated fats are not good for us. The research of Dr. Roy Swank and Dr. George Jelinek also show how saturated fats negatively affect MS. I also took a certificate in plant based nutrition from eCornell and attended a class with Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn on preventing and reversing disease with a plant base diet. So you see, I have done quite a bit of research. 😉
Thought I may have MS. For a long time. Many symptoms. Then I heard about b12 deficiency. Maybe all I have. Hopefully.. we will see.
Yes, b12 deficiency can definitely cause many symptoms. Hopefully that is all that it is.
B12 was the first thing I was tested for. Next the spinal tap confirmed M.S.. Some people may get lucky and be low in B12.
No studies have ever been conducted on the long-term effects of saturated fats. The National Library of Medicine says-> An updated systematic review by the Cochrane group in 2020 on saturated fats reported that reducing dietary saturated fats reduced CVD events but had no effect on the remaining seven CVD endpoints including total mortality, CVD mortality, coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, fatal heart attacks, non-fatal heart attacks, and CHD events. Even the significant effect of saturated fats on CVD events became nonsignificant when subjected to a sensitivity analysis that only included clinical trials which had successfully reduced saturated fat consumption while excluding those that intended to reduce saturated fat but were not successful.
High fat, low carb diets have long been used for reducing inflammation. Granted some people do have elevated LDL on a high fat diet, but there is much debate over the cause possibly being familial, hereditary, and much debate over how harmful that number ALONE actually is. It's common practice to vilify animal-based diets in favor of the traditional health pyramid. The same pyramid that probably got most of us sick in the first place. There aren't any successful long-term studies on ANY diets because there are other factors that were never accounted for in the study group's activities.
I agree that whole foods are a much better way to go, but much of the food we eat has been altered in so many ways (because chemicals save the food industry profits) that it is still very risky. Animal products seem much safer. Refined grains, sugars, processed foods, and GMOs leave most vegetables in a less than desirable state for consumption. Be careful what you eat, and start out by avoiding anything in a can, box or "stay fresh" package. Stay away from fast food.... and most restaurants.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I respectfully disagree. There are many large, long term, peer reviewed studies showing that reducing saturated fats lowers CVD such as the Nurses’ Health Study, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and the China Study show that eating more fruits and vegetables and less saturated fats reduces the risk of CVD.
I agree that the food pyramids have failed miserably. Unfortunately the recommendations were not followed in part due to the power of the food manufacturers, the marketing machines around them, and the shear volume of junk “foods” available.
All this said, we are adults and can make our own choices. I wish you continued health and wellbeing!
Yes please to leaky gut video.
Agreed Re Dairy!!

Thanks for watching. Yep, much of it is common sense.
Is plantar fasciitis associated with MS as well? I have Celiac Type 1, could there be a correlation? Who would I see a neurologist for testing?
I can’t give medical advice but I did find this article that states that people with MS can experience plantar fasciitis. www.mymsteam.com/resources/plantar-fasciitis-and-multiple-sclerosis
Thank you. I think.....hmmm@@EvenSoItIsWell
It’s definitely associated with inflammation, as are all chronic diseases, including M.S.
but what about keto diet there is study say it's help MS patient?
Thanks for watching and for the question. Any diet that helps us to remove processed foods and foods that cause inflammation will be helpful. So if we go from the Standard American diet to keto, we will improve. The short term benefits are definitely there. One of the good things about keto is weight loss and being overweight is linked to worse MS. Staying on long term keto may be more problematic though. There are numerous studies linking high saturated fat with worsening MS. Also keto is linked to higher fatigue, more constipation, and possibly less healthy gut microbiome because of lack of diversity in fiber.
@@EvenSoItIsWell thanks alot for your information now in eating just nuts and vegetables for 4 to 5 days and 3 days I eat animal meat and fish also I'm trying hard to avoid cheese I hope it's help me 😣💗
There are many who have had positive experiences with a ketogenic diet helping with M.S., as well as other brain disease. Ketones are a cleaner fuel for the brain, and saturated fat is very important for hormone and brain health, despite what we’ve been told (lied to).
I'd like to see a video on leaky gut
Thanks for watching! I will add it to my list!
Yes, I did notice vision bluriness when eating a few bowls of Wheaties, in Milk and Equal.
As I recall that morning several years ago; that ceral made my vision blurry, my eye felt a bit sticky for some reason, and the folowing year, I was diagnosed with MS to my surprise. In retrospect, now I see, that my body was already reacting to The Wheat, The Sugar, and The Equal.
In essence: The Sugar, Wheat, and Dairy, all contribute to making the exist in a highly inflammatory state. I'm 100 Percent Certain now.
Now: What I want to do, is get the test that lady who went on Alone did, to find out Exactly which foods her GI is reacting to. Once you know, you know you can reduce inflammation across the board. ..
Good on you for recognizing that diet is playing a role. I actually just read a paper yesterday about a specific protein in wheat that may be a problem for those with autoimmune disease. ATI (amylase trypsin inhibitors) is a protein that isn’t part of gluten that may be an issue. I may do a video on it soon.
@@EvenSoItIsWell A very good idea. Yes, I sensed the problem back in 2015 when I was eating boxes of Wheaties. At the time and because of my weight and no MS Diagnosis at that point in time, I was far more concerned about the Sugar aspect and jittery feeling I'd get if I had too much, but I did remove Sugar years ago to preclude a later diabetes diagnosis. Now: because of the later autoimmune disease, MS.., I'm focused on it's Cause, and Effective Treatment.
So sorry, but All of this poor healthcare as what now seems to be the standard in this Country, I have COMPLETELY lost faith in both Doctors and Treatment, thinking; If I am a mere layman and can easily learn what to do and what Not To Do.. ' Why Then Is The Public NOT being Told Most if not ALL OF THIS/THESE THINGS..!!?? 😤
Is it okay to consume Cow milk and other dairy products?
Unfortunately I don't believe it is. There is research showing that reducing saturated fats as much as possible is best for people with MS and there is a protein called butyrophilin in milk that is similar to our myelin that may get into our systems and may cause our immune systems to attack our own myelin.
There are some wonderful plant based milks that you can try though. Once we lose our taste for dairy it does get easier! I promise.
Is it all dairy or ….just cows milk (A1 protein). Sheep’s milk has a better rep. Does fermenting it to kefir and yoghurt improve the answer ?
Thanks for watching. I avoid all dairy. In addition to the protein Butyrophilin the milks have saturated fats. I keep the saturated fats low based on the research of Dr. Roy Swank and the Overcoming MS program. While fermented foods are good for our guts, fermented milks still have the saturated fats and tend to have a lot of added sugars.
I do agree some but .
Regarding salt
The Body need 2400mg Sodium and 4700mg Potassium but Potassium is not advisable for those who have stage 5 cancer and polysystic kidney problem
The body has a pump Sodium and Potassium.
I see you have not mentioned intermittent fasting.This should be top of the list
Ketogenic diet has been known to help.
You mentioned probiotics that is fine but you didn't mention what probiotics
Okay sauerkraust is great for combating bad bacteria.
Try this.
Try a glass of cabbage juice
It has sulphoraphane .
Basically the microgreens Brochilli sprouts and Cauliflower sprouts have excellent health benifits.
Just clean your guts and see what happens.

Thanks for watching. I have not done any research into kidney cancer and diet. I do intermittent fasting and mention it in some of my other videos. I agree the research shows it is very helpful and I feel better when I eat this way.
no 1. transfats. (1.53). dairy products (8.13).
It seems Dr Swank was right all those years ago.
Thanks for watching. Dr. Swank was such a smart man.
@@EvenSoItIsWell Thank you for your response.
Having an mri late summer to look for ms.
I have to take 40 gm of fat a day for my other meds to work properly 🤦♀️
Uh oh !!!
Try to eat from the healthier fat sources like avocados, ground flax seeds, walnuts & hemp hearts. Good luck with the MRI!
I am trying to get across to my fiancé' due to fact he has relapsing MS, I tell him stop chewing and stop soda, and eat healthy, I am eating healthier to try to get him to see I will go with him on this to get healthier, though myself I have epilepsy. Also watch for foods in say bio-engineered, they are made in science rooms not naturally made
Good on you for eating better! Keep encouraging your fiancé! We can force anyone to change but we can encourage them, lead by example, and prepare delicious healthy foods! 😉
Dairy: I agree wholeheartedly with regards to regular, or “normal” especially the low fat varieties (totally debunked study funded by the sugar industry started that in the late 70s) BUT… we need some of those fats to absorb and gain a host of B vitamins… SO, I noticed no caveats such as grass fed, non-GMO, and hormone free, whole milk sourced varieties. Would you please comment and do some research in that area? Especially with regards to yogurts, sour cream, and cheeses? I agree regarding milk itself, but I am already a “lacto-ovo pescatarian” for several decades now. I do not have MS, but I have a partner who eats like a teenager! And I desperately want them to grow out of that!😅😊🙏🏼
Thanks for watching! I believe a whole food plant based diet is best, but you are right we do need fats in our diets. Getting them from nuts, seeds, dark green leafy veggies, beans, legumes, and avocados are great. Here is a video I did with more information on why I eat whole food plant based.

@@EvenSoItIsWell - So, the answer to my question is you don’t know because you just cut out ALL dairy, correct?
Yes, I have cut out all dairy. We don't need the fats from dairy. The saturated fats are not good for people with MS and there is a protein called butyrophilin that may be targeted by our immune systems.
Based in research that I noted in the past video link I shared, I believe everyone would benefit from giving up dairy.
Here is a bit more information about dairy and MS.

@EvenSoItIsWell A very good idea. Yes, I sensed the problem back in 2015 when I was eating boxes of Wheaties. At the time and because of my weight and no MS Diagnosis at that point in time, I was far more concerned about the Sugar aspect and jittery feeling I'd get if I had too much, but I did remove Sugar years ago to preclude a later diabetes diagnosis. Now: because of the later autoimmune disease, MS.., I'm focused on it's Cause, and Effective Treatment.
So sorry, but All of this poor healthcare as what now seems to be the standard in this Country, I have COMPLETELY lost faith in both Doctors and Treatment, thinking; If I am a mere layman and can easily learn what to do and what Not To Do.. ' Why Then Is The Public NOT being Told Most if not ALL OF THIS/THESE THINGS..!!?? 😤
So sorry you have lost faith in healthcare. I am currently using a combination of western and eastern philosophies in managing my MS. I do take a DMT but also using diet and lifestyle changes.
@@EvenSoItIsWell Great, that is good to know. Problem is: Many like Me, are not being Treated for MS. It's been 8 Years, and None of the doctors I have gone to for healthcare, prescribe MS medication IMO, without First, a lengthy waiting period; about half a year to a year in advance.
Then: A long period is involved with visits before any forward progress, if that is even their decision. Then, at best, when you are categorized as being considered a low income patient, they tend to not prescribe and treat.
Knowing this, I have a duty to do ' What I Think Is Best For Me, and that means... ' Gaming The System As It Were..'
And so: First: I read and learn from the Internet Herd; Millions of Minds, with opinions on Cause, Effect, and what Might or what Is actually Helping Them and Others.. Hope this helps.
Best,

With MS can we live long life normally?if we maintain these diet
“Normally?” Hard to say. What is normal? We can definitely live a normal lifespan in years! Many times people with MS are more susceptible to do-morbid conditions like heart disease and diabetes which can shorten life, but with changes to our diet and lifestyle, we can avoid those!😊
Anyone get pain in their left arm that goes to their forehead and their eyes jump up and down? Also, the front side of my legs have gone very stiff. Doctors don't seem to know
Wow! Those sound really disruptive. Have they done any testing or scans yet?
@@EvenSoItIsWell yes. Recent mri shows white spots on brain. Neurologist gave me orders for spine mri to check for lesions. And to do a spinal tap.
@@blakesmith9039 excellent. Keep me posted on how it goes.
@@EvenSoItIsWell will do. thanks for the video!
I have weird things like that. Pain or just a sensation that starts somewhere random and shoots to one or two different random places.
If i don't eat salt i just pee myself all day.
Being incontinent is incredibly tiresome. I don't have the energy or mobility to get to the loo constantly and quickly.
Nor the energy to continually wash and clean up after myself. I eat more salt more than i ever have.
I bet it is challenging. Have you considered self catheterization? It could be life changing. Check out this blog for some inspiration trippingonair.com/2015/07/honey-i-peed-bed.html
@@EvenSoItIsWell
Catheterization is a last resort.
I get enough UTIs already, every time making my symptoms, including incontinence, much much worse so anything I can do to prevent them I do.
I'd have to be at death's door to opt for catheterization
Plus eating salt isn't adversely affecting my blood pressure. My BP is always perfect 👍🏼
u r amazing and u look amazing/ can i ask? how old r u?
Thank you. I am old enough to know better, but young enough not to care. ;)
Can MS eat eggs daily to absorb the good protein?
Thanks for watching and the question. Many studies have shown eating a low saturated fat diet is better for people with MS so I do not eat eggs.
My life sucks beyond imagination, let me have my Flipz.
Oh honey, I am sorry things are difficult. Sending you lots of positive energy. You can have Flipz, but I would suggest that they bring short term pleasure and may contribute to long term harm. Maybe cut back on the Flipz?
Interesting. Do you know a low fat diet (10mg of sat fat per day) is an effective treatment for MS? (and cancer. It stops a tumour matasizing). Personally I think cancer is a trigger for MS. It triggered mine, that and in addition to a urine infection.
Thanks for watching! Yes, I have read the research that show a low fat diet is helpful!
Gluten may cause UTI. Gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO may hurt. Gluten may cause cancer and many other health issues once it hurts the gut lining so less nutrients absorb then cells are not made right to work right. Glands need cholesterol to work right. Poached eggs/lecithin in yolk may help. Fish oil/evening primrose oil/Krill oil/lecithin/CLA...olive oil/coconut flakes (limit) and more may help. Clogging the blood vessels with certain fats may hurt/heated oils may hurt. Low oxygen in the brain may trigger MS/cancer etc.. Nature's Way - Kidney/bladder may help UTI, but no gluten may prevent them. Antibiotics may hurt people and not help.
Please help me understand how meat is bad for me
Thanks for watching Nellie! As I said in the video the saturated fats found in meat are associated with increased risks for heart disease and inflammation. As MS is an inflammatory disease reducing or eliminating saturated fats found in meats will benefit us. Also, modern farming practices have lead to increased use of antibiotics and hormones that may be problematic. The animals are also consuming feed that has many pesticides that end up in the meat and those pesticides are now being linked to more negative health outcomes.
It’s not
It is NOT
Is possoble to following all your advices may cure MS? I am suffering from the same. Pl guide from your experience. Please mention your email
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, no we cannot cure MS but taking medication and making diet and lifestyle can help us live well with it. You can email at info@evensoitiswell.com
@@EvenSoItIsWell thanks for kind responded.
Dr. Jockers site is good to help with thyroid issues/parasites/mitochondria etc.. which may affect MS people.
Thanks, I will check out Dr. Jockeys.
another vegan with MS surprise. surprise.
Thanks for watching Coljoy. Why the surprise?
Another person that knows squat about disease.
Thanks for watching. I have been living with MS for 17+ years so I feel I have a bit of knowledge. 😉 I also have a certificate in plant based nutrition so have a fair bit of knowledge about foods as well. 🙂
if it's grown on a plant, buy it. it's made in a plant, don't. brilliant 😇
Thanks!
Dear , hope my note finds you fine .
i red golden milk helps lose some weight and since its prepared with some milk
and since am with ms would milk be bad for me even just
one cup of it also is honey

?
thank you
all the from nazreth

Thanks for watching. The research indicates that dairy is not good for us. I make golden milk with almond or oat milk and it is quite nice. Honey shouldn’t be a problem.
