I just want to recommend https://overcomingms.org/recovery-program/diet https://overcomingms.org/recovery-program/diet My wife has relapsing remitting MS and manages it very effectively with this diet. It’s not easy — cutting out lots of fats - but doing so has a really positive impact: reducing myelin damage, slowing progression and reducing relapses.

It sounds silly to mention, but for a person just in remission, it's hard to identify what helps since progression of the disease is not very visible. Fortunately enough, but it would be good to get on track with a helping diet.

  I'm putting my faith in the idea that reducing "leaky gut" is the key, along with eliminating allergens like dairy. I was doing pretty well all these years mostly avoiding coffee, dairy, and other things that increase leaky gut like MCT oil. My worst symptoms happened recently as I did all these things. The diet I'm on is meat-based, or, more illustratively, fiber-free. From my understanding fiber can often be actually harmful for leaky gut. I've avoided mentioning this too much in the comments because I didn't want to seem to be advertising this, although for full transparency, I feel that I must. It's just what I feel is the best best... I've also started (very) high-dose vitamin D, so-called "Coimbra protocol", which really needs doctor supervision which I don't currently have but will promptly.

The effect might be due to pushing people towards more beans (soluble fiber.) Interesting recent study shows beans help. If the effect is due to the soluble fiber you want to get beans daily, to keep the bacteria that are helping you, thriving. https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/diet-rich-in-beans-legumes-study https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/diet-rich-in-beans-legumes...

It's very simple. Avoid foods that cause inflammation and this helps reduce MS flare-ups
