An overview of the current state of evidence for the role of specific diets in multiple sclerosis (2019)
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a ... 4819303736

"Highlights
•Many people are interested in using dietary manipulations to manage their MS.
•Many diets have been explored in MS and its animal models.
•Insufficient evidence exists to recommend any specific diet for people with MS.
...
Conclusion
There is insufficient evidence to recommend the routine use of any specific diet by people with MS. Some diets touted for MS may have potential negative health consequences. It is important that clinicians inquire regarding dietary manipulations, so they can educate patients on any known efficacy data and potential adverse effects of individual diets. Consultation with a registered dietician is recommended for patients undertaking restrictive diets."
