Food Allergies & MS

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

This is my first post. I was recently diagnosed with MS; I have

another autoimmune condition called Lymphoedema as well. I also have

Von Wilibrans Disease, which is a genetic bruising bleeding disorder.

Here is another fine example of my firm believe that " everything

happens for a reason " . I cannot take drug therapies or Omega Acid

pills because of my blood disorder. However because of this I found

out that good old Vitamin C would also rebuild your nerves in much the

same way as the expensive meds. I was also told to eat four meals of

foods high in Omega a week (free range buffalo, deer or the like and

wild vs. farm raised cold water fish are good examples). I have been

put on a high protein diet, as protein is the building block for blood.

I have also found out that food allergies play a big role in most

cases, especially to wheat and dairy products. Everyone that has MS

should be checked for these, there are special blood tests an

allergist can perform! Three different docs have suggested I've seen

that I start an elimination diet and/or an anti-inflammatory diet. You

can find links to these online. If you don't have an allergist or

nutritionist, you should get one and discuss these things with them

before trying them!

An excellent book I have found is called " Prescription for Nutritional

Healing " by Phyllis Balch, CNC. It has everything and I mean

everything that you could ever want to know about Nutritional Healing!

My present Nutritionist also prescribed Multi Vitamins with no iron

and she said to make sure they were capsules and not the pressed pills

because your body digests the capsules better, she said if the vitamin

does not hurt your stomach it is not working or the nutritients aren't

being absorbed.

Another important note: if you have MS or any autoimmune disease you

shouldn't take Echinacea or other things to bolster your immune

system: think about it: if your immune system is defective and you

take something to make it stronger; what will happen? I got very ill

for months trying to drink Immune Support Teas! The minute I took

these teas out of my diet, I felt better.

I hope everyone reading this has a great holiday season! indigomagic
