Multiple Sclerosis and Gut Health
Autoimmune Diseases | Last Active: May 22, 2022 | Replies (6)Comment receiving replies
I know my MS is caused by my leaky gut. I made smoothies for my self containing blueberries, strawberries, bananas, green powder, probiotics and flax seed milk every day for a year and I reversed my gut health and my MS. I went from walking with a cane and a leg brace for drop foot to walking just fine today. My problem is my gut is leaky again and I was hoping for a more permanent solution. Does anyone have a formal for fixing leaky gut?

Have you seen a hospital-bases dietician?
Hello @christinebuchar and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Gut health is such an important topic. I actually found an existing discussion on MS and gut health so you will notice that I have moved your post here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/multiple-sclerosis-and-gut-health/
I wonder if you've researched collagen for gut health? I've found the following information that you may find helpful.
- Mayo Clinic Q and A: Collagen and biotin supplements: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-collagen-and-biotin-supplements/
Have you already included a type II collagen into your diet?

I had a leaky gut years ago, unfortunately I don't believe there is a formula that will help everyone but I can tell you what I did. I went to what is called a doctor of functional medicine. If you don't know what that is they are doctors, usually of internal medicine, who have also specialized in functional medicine. They know a lot about nutritional issues and gut health. This doctor with the help of nutritionist, helped me reverse mine in a little less than a year.
