Is there anything to help stop or slow progression of MGUS?

I just sawca hopeful blurb by a physician at Sloan Kettering that her 12 week study of putting a limited number of patients on a plant based fiber diet to prevent MGUS progression had positive results. Patients were 86 percent compliant.
It was a small study for a short time but two MGUS patients whose values were fast tracking in the wrong direction had this trend stopped - maybe even regress - I can’t remember.
Since I am on a plant based diet I thought this was great. I don’t think dairy was allowed. I do yogurt, milk in my coffee and very occasionally have seafood. BUT I have had MGUS for 23 years.

@hsminc , Thank you for the post. Would you be able to share the link for the article you read? Did it state the participants were on a vegetarian (no meat or dairy) or just a Whole Foods plant based diet? I had previously asked if anyone on the forum had participated in one of Sloan Kettering MGUS clinical trial and had a copy of the allowable foods but I don’t believe anyone responded to the post. Others were interested as well. How long have you been on the plant based diet and do you believe it has had a significant influence on your MGUS markers? I am transitioning to a pescatarian diet- have given up red meat and would have given up all meat except that my digestive system does not handle beans, gluten grains or cows milk dairy so I am concerned about not getting enough protein. Do you feel like you are getting enough protein? I’ll have to find the article I just read and post it, but I believe it said for someone my weight (125) and age (71) that I should be eating 79 grams of protein a day!
