Candida overgrowth and MS/Multiple Sclerosis
I've tried various diets over the years to treat my MS. Overcoming MS/Swank, Paleo, Wahls, Leaky gut diet. While some of these have not got my MS under control, some did help and enough to mean that I currently take no drugs for my MS (touch wood)and I'm still able to do a physical job 6 days a week. I've gotten some relief but still have bad moments if I eat/drink certain things. Narrowing that part of it down but still get it wrong sometimes.
I keep researching diets and theories re MS and the one that pops up every now and again is that Candida is responsible for MS. Anyone tried a anti-Candida Diet. Basically you eat foods to kill off the Candida and avoid foods that feed it. Just trying it myself now. Anyone else doing it or have tried it? If yes how did you go.
I'll keep you informed as i go and whether it helps or not.
Love to hear anyone else's feedback on this topic.
Hi
. It is awesome to see how much success you have had with dietary changes. I have done a little research and it seems there isn't much credible evidence to support the idea that dietary changes can prevent yeast overgrowth, but the anti-candida diet calls for non-processed food, which can help people feel better. Here is an article from the Mayo Clinic about it that might interest you: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/candida-cleanse/faq-20058174. Any dietary change that leads to healthier eating is worth trying. I hope it helps. Keep us posted if you feel comfortable doing so. Best wishes! - Lori (Team Member) Hi Lori, thanks for the reply.
Not sure there is much credible evidence on any of the diets bar Swank but there is contention around that to some degree too. I prefer to try these things for myself and so far they have helped. Having had MS since around 1995 and still being physically active after all this time its helps to some degree for sure.
Thanks for the link.
Any of the forum members tried it? I'll give it a few months and see what happens. Giving up the end of the week drinks may be the biggest hurdle to get over (( :Hi
. We've heard from many members who have tried different diets, but I haven't heard from anyone who has tried the anti-candida diet. Hopefully, they will see this and post here if they have. Let us know how it goes, if you don't mind. I hope it helps. - Lori (Team Member)
