Everybody had a different opinion on diet and everybody has different dietary needs. One thing that should be ruled out, is sensitivities and allergies to specific foods, molds and yeasts and anything else that puts stress on the body. A Candida Diet can be helpful for some people but is an extreme diet and shouldn't be done for longer than necessary and only if needed. Elimination diets can be helpful for problem foods and a Rotation diet is the best option.

There is definitely a diet that dramatically improves quality of life, as long as you pair it with environmental changes. Eliminate all toxins from your diet and life style. Eat organic, no commercial prepared food. No food additives.

Avoiding sugar and getting plenty of antioxidants is probably a good diet for those with MCS.

Yes! MIT Study reported gluten has quantities of glysophate from Roundup Weedkiller that I discovered were disabling me for years. Wishing 48hrs of not eating any gluten, my energy level returned to Pre-diagnosis.

Also, medical air purifiers and a whole house water purifier have helped along with a car that only allows 4% of outside car exhaust inside my car cabin.

Organic food. Filtered water. If you have Aldi grocery store nearby, they have pretty inexpensive organic foods, it helps a lot. Perhaps low carb diet, too. I'm trying it right now, it seems to help lessen inflamation like headache, burning eyes, swollen throat kind of things. Not sure yet on that part.

I don't know.
Healthy eating is always a help.
I chew gum to help my mouth when on trains and buses.

The only diet changes are to avoid any foods that are processed or have been fertilized with chemicals or treated in some way so as to be contaminated with chemicals.

Yes. Foods that have not been sprayed with toxins and that are high in nutrients are best. The body systems are constantly fighting to rid toxins. Water is essential in this process and individuals will notice increased urination due to the elimination process. Diarrhea and irritable bowel also occurs. I suggest a multi-vitamin such as a one-a-day vitamin.

Yes the right diet helps. Plenty of water too. This question cannot be answered here in this small space. We need to eat anti inflammatory food. Everyone can be different so these need to be assessed. All "convenience foods" should be avoided and all artificial sweeteners. I eat masses of vegetables but other people prefer fruit. Very complex subject.

Try to eat as many organic vegetables and meat as possible, limit sugar and alcohol. But don't be too hard on yourself for eating stuff you think will harm you. Stress is worse than anything.

Posted Jun 4, 2019 by Heather 3000

Again, this is symptom dependent. some people don't tolerate artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavors. Staying away from these triggers will help improve their symptoms. Some people can eat anything. It's about learning what your body tolerates and avoiding the things that make you symptomatic.

Avoidance diet, it is what it is, if you notice a reaction to a food, avoid it, don’t struggle and kill yourself with a fatal reaction, are you really missing out no, but if your dead you miss out on life, whatever it’s throwing at you.

Some say yes, but it is still debatable. There are other factors such as hypothyroidism, therefore avoid glutens, but it depends what organs have been affected by your triggers.

Eliminate all pesticides and GMOs from your diet. Local no spray is always going to be better than mass-produced organics. Avoid dairy unless you are 99.9% sure it is super clean--chemicals concentrate in milk. Also avoid corn, wheat, and soy unless you are 99.9% sure it is organic and non-GMO. Filter your water with a broad-spectrum filter.

Avoiding foods with high levels of preservatives is best for people struggling with MCS.

Posted Jan 24, 2020 by Tiffani 1300

Yes, eat as natural as GOD made food! Organic, self grown and no preservatives

Posted Jan 30, 2020 by Noeleen 2500

I do. I feel any food that supports your liver - the critical organ that removes toxins from our bodies - is a good thing.

Currently I follow the Medical Medium recommendations and have celery juice each morning and follow a vegan diet.

Some people avoid some foods that are specific to them.

Posted Mar 7, 2020 by MCSzombie 6220

For me it's eating whole organic foods, avoiding foods with pesticides and reducing refined foods.

Posted Mar 31, 2020 by Judie 1860

Yes!
Keep a food diary and mark down what foods make you feel sick and what specific symptoms you have. Report those to your doctor.
Some people have nightshade intolerances, oil intolerances, intolerances to additives and preservatives, gums and colorants, or foods that have certain classifications or characteristics.
Eating fresh foods that are not processed. (Making your own meals FROM SCRATCH.)
Eating organic fresh fruits and vegetables and meats not treated with chemicals/antibiotics can help.
If you eat any processed foods, read the labels carefully and avoid anything that triggers you.
Avoid drinking tap water.
Drink water filtered by reverse osmosis, activated charcoal and UV light.
Replenish filtered drinking water with minerals or take a multivitamin supplement.
Cease drinking water that is bottled in plastic or certain kinds of plastic, depending upon your sensitivity.
Do not heat food from any plastic containers in microwave.

Differs with each person.
Eating healthy, trying to eat organic, avoiding packaged stuff is best

For me, the only diet that helps MCS, to a limited degree, is to not eat sugar or carbohydrates. Even eating a macrobiotic diet for a year and having no sugar for a year did nothing for my MCS. Eating organic meats can help with your load, but will not cure MCS. Taking garlic supplements seemed to help a little bit. The food rotation diet can help your IBS or headache symptoms.

Posted Feb 21, 2021 by Christi 2350

Yes, a diet free of sugar and organic in nature

Posted Jul 24, 2021 by Serenity 2500

Organic, whole foods with avoidance of foods and drinks containing preservatives, artificial flavors and coloring

Posted Nov 11, 2021 by kola05 2620

I am pretty much vegan and also no sugar, white flour, alcohol, and mostly organic. I don't know if this helps the condition, but it does help me feel safer by reducing my overall toxic load.

Lots of fruits you can peel, vegetebles, lots of good quality. liquids.
