@vmpcay1977 Welcome to Mayo Connect! There are quite a few members in the forum who have been diagnosied with Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and many have the same questions that you have about the impact of diet in possibly slowing the progression.
Here are a couple of the links that I found regarding diet and MGUS.

Being able to speak with other members with the same diagnosis can be so comforting. One more link for you…this is from a quick search of MGUS conversations! Please feel free to peruse the discussions and pop in with questions! https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/blood-cancers-disorders/?search=MGUS#discussion-listview
Do you feel this all started the same time as the perimenopause?

@loribmt Thank you so much for your response and comments. Of course, talking to people who suffer from the same thing is comforting, and it's good to share concerns and information. Thanks! Regarding your question, I couldn't specify that this diagnosis began with perimenopause, because this period started recently and I was diagnosed with MGUS in January 2023 by chance. I already had 0.8 mg of monoclonal protein, and during the semiannual checkups of the last two years, it hasn't increased yet 0,9mg. This makes me think it's something I've had for a while, if the curve has always behaved like it has the last two years since it was discovered. I hope it remains stable... God will provide.
