MGUS diet: Any tips on food to enjoy or prevent progression?

Posted by sstillwell @sstillwell, Aug 13, 2021

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

Dear Ones,
Two thoughts come to mind: my IgM kappa MGUS was first diagnosed seven years ago when my weight was at all time high. I had just gone on a cruise and eaten far to liberally. No more! Subsequently I’m trying to be honest with myself and have slowly lost 8% of the excess. In online researching from peer reviewed sources, I gather gaining weight can cause MGUS to progress to MM. Suggesting see if your research verifies this. Good Luck! Healing hugs!

I had evushield late last year and new series three days ago with my weekly infusion.
No side effects and no Covid so far.

Thanks for your encouraging words, Wyom!

What tests were done to prove that the other vaccines were inadequate for your needs?

One concern is that they are all based on the 2019 version of COVID and other variants are circulating now.

Wishing you well!

I had Moderna 2 dose and booster early last year before evushield. My SCT deleted that series.
I had the new evushield shot last week based on what I understood were new expanded coverages.

I was diagnosed a couple weeks ago. Im shocked and lost. I was on a fb group but the posts were giving me anxiety. I'm a little scared. Not totally sure what to do next. My Primary dr said we'll check again in 3 months but thats not enough for me. I have symptoms and need to be proactive. I appreciate any knowledge you can share with me ❤

I joined Voices for MPN’s. It has a lot of good information. I’m as confused as you, but always make sure you get more than one professional opinion.

I believe it to be a group of people just like you and me that suffer from a blood disease. You can keep track of your counts , symptoms and journey on your phone. There are video taped real life stories and great information.
