KBear Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 On day 2 and wondered what people with Multiple Sclerosis are experiencing on the Whole30. I am currently having an MS attack and I'm hoping this will help. Any suggestions..insight...positive feedback?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've been living with MS for 9 years. No attacks in almost 8 years. I made several lifestyle changes after my diagnosis, including getting on one of the MS drugs, getting allergy tested and starting allergy shots, learning I was gluten-sensitive and stopped eating gluten. Started supplements in areas in which I tested deficient. I also workout at the gym and actively manage my stress. I did my Whole30 last summer, primarily because I wanted to increase my vegetable intake and decrease mindless snacking. Because my MS was in good shape before then, I didn't notice any MS impacts. Many folks with MS also have issues with gluten, so if eliminating gluten is new for you, hopefully you will experience some benefits. Hope your attack abates soon.

Kboom Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've been living with MS for 7 years, only been relapse free for the last 2. I tried to do a Whole 30 back in July but only lasted 15 days before I fell off the wagon. But the one thing that happened from it was that it showed me I am gluten intolerant. That bagel tasted SO good, but the numbness in my face and legs took all the good away. I had tried going gluten free years ago, but it really didn't have the same affect as now. So I have been 90% gluten free since July and have decided to re-try another Whole 30. I am now on Day 3 and not feeling great. Just hoping to see if eliminating dairy, sugar and soy make a greater difference in my daily symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamamac Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Have any of you read The Wahl's Protocol? Very interesting studies on how a paleo style diet can help MS symptoms. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBear Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thank you so much for the feedback. I am so excited to see how this program effects my MS. I haven't read the Wahl's Protocol but I will be doing that soon. It is interesting to me how many people with MS I have heard are gluten intolerant. I haven't heard anything about that until I started researching Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kboom Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I haven't read The Wahl's Protocol, but I have watched her presentation (on You Tube) and it's quite inspiring. I follow a page in regards to the OMS Diet, which is similar to Whole30, but very low fats. So I really believe that we are on the right track.

KBear Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm glad we are all on the right track. My MS Medication is not working for me, so I'm relying on this to help. I'm sure we are all benefiting from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
