Thank you for the comments
I dont know if everyone has alot of pain but I hurt alot and I feel like it's the cause of MGUS
But I'm being told that it's not
It's really hard for me to stay away from sweets.
I'm trying to stay away from it but it seems really hard like I cant it's an addiction I feel
My blood levels are high my Kappa / Lambda high it's 2.58
My total Protein is high 8.4
IGg is 1.955
So I feel like somewhere in these blood levels there must be away to make them go down
I go to KU but my dr tells me everything is good
I don't my blood work every 6 months now and I do it and then I see my levels before the dr does I dont know how every does it but i have to wait a week before I talk to my dr
I flip out scared it's going to turn into MM because I've lost 2 family members from cancer within the last 5-6 yrs
But i want to know how we can all get through this should we eat less protein and more grains or less grains
There is something out there that we all can do to fight it
I fill helpless
I was told less red meats and more vegetables and fruits low carbs
But can someone else tell me I hear this all the time if I do these it will help lose weight and help with the MGUS AND FATTY LIVER DISEASE
Why is it always lose weight to blame why we're health is bad

Why, indeed?! why can't it be something easy like giving up turnips?
Fruits and vegetables rather than red meat are a plus if you're trying to lose weight just generally speaking.
I'm not an expert. Any nutrition savvy folks want to weigh (haha) in?

@sheryl71
I did find this from Sloan Ketterling. I'm not sure all the MGUS experts agree that a plant-based diet will slow down or stop progression..
