Hello Red7,
Since posting my original diet question to the MGUS group- I’ve spent many hours reading research studies and differences in IgA MGUS versus others. (I have IgA with Lambda). Although not many studies to be found on diet, I did read some success with Neem leaf, alpha lipoic acid and pycnogenol. Diet wise I try to stick with mainly fruits and vegetables, eggs, milk and no processed foods. I’ve read to avoid night shades with the exception that eggplant is encouraged. Prior response you received encouraging Vitamin D and Calcium - I also take these along with multi, C, zinc, iron and magnesium (can’t seem to get enough in diet). I get my vitamin levels checked routinely now to make sure I’m on the correct dose of vitamins fit my body. Share with us anything you find on diet or supplements for MGUS - it’s great to steer each of us into more research on the type we have.
Welcome @red7. It can be confusing to get a new diagnosis. You must have many questions and you gather information. Allow me to tag fellow MGUS members like @gingerw @sstillwell @auntieoakley @cctoo @dazlin @momofthree1 @susangs

Red, may I ask how you were diagnosed? What questions do you have?
