Dietary Approaches to Treating Multiple Sclerosis-Related Symptoms.
Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 2022 Aug; 33(3):605-620.PM

Abstract

Although there is no dietary pattern than has been proven to be effective for reducing the number of relapses or enhancing lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), several pilot studies have demonstrated the efficacy of dietary plans to reduce MS-related symptoms. Low saturated fat (Swank), low fat vegan (McDougall), modified Paleolithic (Wahls), gluten free, Mediterranean, intermittent fasting, calorie restriction, and intermittent calorie restriction (fasting mimicking diet) all have been associated with reduction of MS-related symptoms such as reduced fatigue, improved mood, and improved quality of life. Mediterranean diet has proven effectiveness for prevention and reduction of comorbid disease severity.
