Soya the nitty gritty bits

feeds@yuku.com (veg) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:25:18 GMT

Hi

Have been on the diet for just ovr a eyar now, and feeling improvements I do have one area that I think I may need to work on further.
Whilst I have avoided all legumes from what I actually choose to eat and pretty much do not have any packaged food, Soya lurks in the stuff I can't easily control.. Items such as my perscription Calcium supplment has a little Soya oil (and gelatine) but I can only assume the amounts are very...

I am needing to get a summary of all this and get it written down in one place. Any corrections or ideas to put me straight would be gratefully received. The sections in italic & underlined are where I am not so sure what is what.

Supplement in Other Forms or formulas

feeds@yuku.com (leila) — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 11:05:24 GMT

Hi,
I've been on the BBD about 10 years - in fact this website saved my life. My case of multiple sclerosis was very aggressive, probably even rarely so; within about 3 months from feeling sick enough to stay home, I'd lost nearly all use of my legs, and a lot of vision, as well as having other trouble on the same side, and all the miserable stuff I won't try to fit in - anyway I could barely get out of bed or think, and probably would have been paralyzed within a few years...

Hello

UI was wondering why should we not eat dairy and legumes? Why are they not good for us?

A treat-addict on BBD - help!

feeds@yuku.com (guzzieshel) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:29:25 GMT

Hi there BBD'er's!
I was on BBD for nearly 3 years (did have very occasional break-outs though, if I'm honest) but I am back on it again after a break of 2 years - 8 months of pregnancy and first year with my little son. I need to get my energy levels back up again to keep up with him. Already I'm finding I have more energy after only 2 weeks back on BBD.

Just wondering if any of you have "allowed" treats on the BBD - I have a sweet tooth and am...

Where can I get vitamin D tests and supplements in the UK, and what about sunbeds?

feeds@yuku.com (chrispo) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 15:16:10 GMT

Three questions about vitamin D...
Can you get tested privately if GP doesn't play ball - any recommendations?
Where can you get high (eg 5000 IU) doses in the UK?
Is there any particular reason why the BBD recommends vitamin D supplements rather than a sunbed?
Thanks in advance

When to take supplements?

feeds@yuku.com (martin) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 17:53:21 GMT

Hi, I'm new here so apologies if this has been asked already.
I know what supplements I should take but I need information on when and what quantities at certain times etc.
For instance I know that you should not take zinc and copper at the same time as they compete.
Are there any other bad interactions and is there an easy to follow instruction list?
I assume it's not a good idea to take all the BBD supplements with breakfast.
Please help.

Comment on Best Bet Diet from a non-boarder

feeds@yuku.com (squiffy2) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 07:11:20 GMT

My wife was diagnosed in October 2006. she has been on the BB diet since November 2006, and has had no relapses and only very mild symptoms, such as fatigue, however she is a full time worker out of the house for nearly 11 hours per day so this could be quite possibly normal. In May of this year her consultant was so pleased with her he said he did not need to see her again, unless we needed him. She is doing so well, however she...

Corn

feeds@yuku.com (sarah) — Sun, 18 May 2008 20:53:07 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...

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

feeds@yuku.com (cafebabe) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:49:30 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!

feeds@yuku.com (squiffy2) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:06:06 GMT

I would just like to say a big thank you to all of you who have taken the plunge and embraced the new Global MS Community concept and have joined up and started interacting with the other MSers already.

It is a little daunting to start with, being a totally new "concept" and not like anything you may be used to on the Net, but as you will have already seen, everyone, both from the MS...

Have eliminated dairy and gluten and am ALWAYS COLD!

feeds@yuku.com (cafebabe) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 08:24:59 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...
