I do the swank diet so know that we avoid dairy as it is high in saturated fat and thereis a link between high amounts of saturated fat and MS

Cant really say re the legumes and i do eat them (I do the swank diet - one cutting down saturated fats, not the best bet one).

I understand the best bet diet theory is that the autoimmunity process is ignited by undigested food escaping through the gut walls into the circulatory system where the immune response is to attack the invaders. Some proteins resemble proteins in myelin (the sheath protecting the nerves) so the immune system attacks the myelin by mistake. Presumably legumes are such proteins.
