What to Eat:
- In a nutshell, anti-inflammatory foods are those that any mainstream nutrition expert would encourage you to eat. They include lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, plant-based proteins (like beans and nuts), fatty fish, and fresh herbs and spices.
- Fruits and veggies: Go for variety and lots of color. Research has shown that vitamin K-rich leafy greens like spinach and kale curb inflammation, as does broccoli and cabbage. And the substance that gives fruits like cherries, raspberries, and blackberries their color is a type of pigment that also helps fight inflammation.
What Not to Eat
- Anything highly processed, overly greasy, or super sweet isn’t a good choice for you if you have inflammation.
- Refined starches and sugary foods.
- High-fat and processed red meat (like hot dogs)
- Butter, whole milk, and cheese.
- French fries, fried chicken, and other fried foods.
- Coffee creamers, margarine, and anything else with trans fats.
- Wheat, rye, and barley (Gluten)
Wahls Protocol
Anti-Inflammatory Diet:
Anti-Inflammatory Diet:
The Wahls Protocol eliminates starches and includes certain meats, Ultimately, this new way of eating still based on Paleo principles, but now organized to maximize these nutrients that were important to the brain. In fact, I now track 36 different vitamins, minerals, essential fats, and antioxidants to make sure the diet has been specifically designed to provide those things, and that is what I now call the Wahls Diets for multiple sclerosis. We’re basically adding more leafy green vegetables; sulfur-rich vegetables like cabbage, mushroom, onion family; deeply pigmented foods like carrots, beets, berries; grass fed meats; wild fish; and seaweed. As people progress in the diet, we help them transition from their current way of eating to a more nutrient-dense, more low-glycemic way of eating that is better for one’s brain health. *Multiple Sclerosis Foundation

The Plant Paradox
Best Bet, by Ashton Embry
Mayo Clinic Diet Suggestions
Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the “gluten-free” foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions.

Overall, people with Multiple Sclerosis need a balanced, low-fat and high-fiber diet. Unprocessed or naturally processed foods are preferred to processed foods. This is similar to the Mediterranean diet, and the same healthy diet that's recommended for the general population. Also consider limiting alcohol as much as possible.
Some research suggests that a diet low in saturated fats and supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids may benefit people with MS. But these results haven't been confirmed by large-scale studies. However, it's recommended that people with MS limit animal-based fats. Instead, opt for fish and nut-based fat sources such as olive oil, avocado oil and almond butter, which are rich in omega-3s. This is one of the best diets for multiple sclerosis.

The Paleo diet
Mayo Clinic Diet Suggestions
Ketogenic Diet for MS
The Paleo diet for multiple sclerosis provides guidelines for the kinds of foods that should be eaten and the balance in sources of caloric intake. The first step is to eat natural foods while avoiding highly processed food, especially high glycemic load foods (carbohydrate foods that significantly raise blood sugar). The Paleo diets for multiple sclerosis also emphasizes the intake of game (nondomesticated) meats and plant based foods besides cereals (fruits, roots, legumes and nuts)
