MGUS diet: Any tips on food to enjoy or prevent progression?

Diet is mostly for general health; I haven't found anything definitive on diet influencing MGUS progression. Pasta and hot peppers are fine. In general, a FODMAP or Mediterranean type diet, low in sugars, drink enough water, and get enough exercise is what doctors mention. Some people with MGUS have gone vegetarian, in case that helps them. I have had celiac disease for 15 years so exclude anything with gluten. I take Qunol turmeric with curcumin supplements for my "in case that helps" with MGUS. Not much human research on that yet (mice feel better tho). Check with a doctor/pharmacist before major changes if you are on meds. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9301229/

Kay…thanks again for your feedback. Most appreciated..according to what I’ve read so far, since I’m on eliquis a blood thinner..supplements like turmeric and garlic are not recommended as they serve the same purpose or have the same result. But I do have another question ..re diet..I have scheduled appointment with dietician/nutrition next week. Have cut back on sweets, bread, processed food…and have amped up my exercise appreciably…yesterday I felt pretty pretty normal, but most days I feel low energy and almost nauseated..not sure if and when this feeling goes away with diet change and exercise over longer period. Thanks again. Stay well
Bob
