I think the book does mention the need to care for and heal a damaged gut as being in large part responsible for healing MS.
I have observed the same as you that the severity of my MS symptoms ebb and flow with the quality of my digestion. Have you noticed other foods that cause issues for you other than gluten?
I find what has helped me the most is going with a specific carbohydrate type diet which is basically avoiding all complex carbohydrates. On this diet I feel great. I have tried to add brown rice a few times and it knocks me back down a few notches. I think I will have to follow the specific carb diet for a year or so before trying to introduce some complex carbs again. Also, I am thinking about adding digestive enzymes to help speed up the healing.
I INTENDED THIS TO BE A POSTING, not a comment to these articles. Please excuse my naivity. I would like to hear from anyone who has seen their recovery progress through changes in their digestive output? I now know I was living with a food sensativity (probably to
gluten). Based on the reading I have done and what I see, there has been significant healing in my digestive system. Why is there no mention of this aspect in the book or on this site? Is this a topic that is culturally unacceptable to speak of? Has anyone used this insight into their bodies to chart their progress? After all we are healing a 'leaky gut'!
