MGUS diet: Any tips on food to enjoy or prevent progression?
Hello-any tips on foods to avoid and foods to enjoy that help prevent progression of MGUS? I’ve read avoid radish, cherries, processed, fried. Focus more on fruits. Anyone adhered to special diet and have not had MGUS progress for years? Thank you, Susan

I’m interested in how the treatment helps. Keep me updated please. All the best, amber
A friend was diagnosed with Leukemia who did stem cell transplant from her own body. She also majorly cleaned up her diet. She is very strict about what she eats & drinks. She eats no processed foods, dairy, red meat, or sugar. She check all ingredients to make sure they are not inflammatory & don’t contain any ingredients that are not safe. She is in remission & seems to be doing well.
I have MGUS, but also a lot of other auto-immune disorders (about 10). I feel that everything is related. I have not found a good primary or other doctors to work with yet. I have kind of been on my own, but have been getting blood work regularly with the numbers going up for the M—Spike 0.19 & IgM 452 & Beta Globulins 10.6 & BUN 64 & Albumin 60. I have peripheral neuropathy in my hands & feet, Lupus SLE, Psoriasis, & ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID Syndrome, beside some other things. I am easily fatigued. The hematologist / oncologist feels that I have smoldering Waldenstrom or Multiple Myeloma & don’t need any care or treatment for any of this. So, I am kind of frustrated.
Are you being treated at a cancer research hospital? Fortunately, you are the patient. You get to ask questions and find answers. Your friend is doing what some functional doctors suggest. One i listed to does it red meet. She also stresses half your body weight in ounces of water every day.
I would be frustrated too.
Have you seen a hematologist that specializes in myeloma at a major myeloma center? A physician with sub specialized expertise may be able to give you the answers you need -- and deserve.
Also there has been some research out of Memorial Sloan Kettering that indicates plant based diets are helpful in keeping MGUS from progressing. There were some studies listed on SPARKCURES, which is a website dedicated to research.
oh my red meat she eats. Tustin Longevity Center- A functional Dr. Dr. E. It is good to hear from this group of medical drs. Ultimately it is how it works for our bodies.
