hey there, i would say 'everything in moderation'. what have you heard to suggest coffee is good for ms? i do drink coffee, but it's a diuretic. i've heard it suggested that one serving of coffee cancels out two servings of water.

if you have bladder issues, coffee will exacerbate things and make holding your water challenging.

Thanks for the replies!

I havent really heard that coffee was good for ms, just caffeine. If you search "caffeine good for ms", a lot of articles come up.

Oh, and if you look a few topics under this one, theres a topic called "caffeine" and that lists some benefits.

Coffee made him really tensed. Although he found a brand of coffee that he can enjoy without feeling like there is a war inside him. (That's the expression he used)

I think there have been other studies suggesting that caffeine has positive effects on the brain (not necessarily specific to MS), such as:
