The article "My Fight Against Multiple Sclerosis" by Roger MacDougall which
can be
found at www.cadvision.com/embrya/roger.html is very interesting. He
recovered by
following a diet which eliminated foods causing allergic reactions. Some
additional
reading on the internet indicates that small particles of undigested foods
may enter
the bloodstream and cause allergic reactions. This made me wonder if it
might be
better to try to prevent absorption of undigested food particles rather than
trying to
avoid eating foods which will cause problems. Insoluble fiber and adequate
liquid
will probably keep the particles larger and less likely to be absorbed. Also
using
means to maintain or improve the integrity of the lining of the intestines
might help.
Glutamine supplements are supposed to do this by providing protein for the
lining.
