Corn

feeds@yuku.com (sarah) — Sun, 18 May 2008 21:53:07 GMT

Hi Everyone,

really feels good to have a place to speak about these things.

I wanted to ask about corn - isn't it a cereal and therefore not good for the MS patient?

My boyfriend has just been diagnosed with MS and having no symptoms, I want to start the diet early and get him going - hopefully to avoid him ever having symptoms or progression of it if possible.

Back to the corn - any opinion about this? For example we eat Dr Schaar's...

Ok, after one year on the Best Bet diet, taking suppliments and exercising daily.....no new lesions AND my old lesions are GONE!!!! Incredible, but true!!! I still have my symptoms (some numbness, fatigue, tingling, burning, etc), but I am drug free and feeling better than ever!

How do I find out if I am deficient in vitamin B12?

feeds@yuku.com (cafebabe) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:49:30 GMT

Where can I go to get my vitamin B12 level checked? Also, does adhering to the BBD mean we are putting ourselves at risk of becoming deficient in B12 (ie no milk, yoghurts and similar)? Some of the foods listed as containing B12 are 'baddies' on the BBD. help!

Have eliminated dairy and gluten and am ALWAYS COLD!

feeds@yuku.com (cafebabe) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:24:59 GMT

Hi guys,
It is now several months since I gave up dairy and gluten and am surviving, just about. However, I am permanently cold,even in our heated house. My poor husband is walking round in a sweat as I have all rads turned up etc. I am still fairly active, go to gym, walk regularly or cycle - am I not getting enough energy to keep me warm? I usually do not feel the cold.
The good side is that I have lost almost a stone in weight (not intentionally though) and five inches off my...

A recent study published in the medical journal Neurology (January 2008 ) has shown that prevalence of MS in Malta is extremely low compared to neighbouring Sicily. Whilst genes undoubtedly play a role in the low levels of MS in Malta, it is likely that the environment has a...

Vegetarianism compatible with BBD?

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Tue, 04 Jul 2028 20:01:52 GMT

Hi I'm new to the forum - diagnosed 9 months ago age 24, and have been trying to follow the diet for the last 3-4 months now.

I have cut out dairy and gluten successfully (though with much difficulty) but as a vegetarian, I cannot see how I can cut out legumes and still eat a healthy diet. Is there anyone in a similar position who can offer advice?

I was therefore also wondering, how strictly must we adhere to the diet?
How essential is it to cut out legumes altogether?...

Roll call - How many of us are here?
