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

Thanks very much! I have MGUS however the emerging issue is consistently low IgG, IgA, IgM levels. I've also have pernicious anemia (give myself monthly B12 injections) and in 2016 had a massive pulmonary embolism requiring clot busting drugs. Have since been seeing both a respirologist and hematologist. Several months ago the former asked if immunoglobulin replacement therapy had been discussed...I'm speaking with my hematologist today...notwithstanding 5 Covid injections plus flu & pneumonia jabs recently tested positive (again) for Covid and undergoing treatment with Paxlovid...will be glad to share what I can...as others heard when first diagnosed with MGUS it's asymptomatic however as I and others subsequently experienced MGUS is not just a single thread but potentially a myriad of intertwined issues...the Mayo site continues to be a great resource

@butkus51 Once again, your case shows to all of us that we are each in the same boat, but have different seats/views. MGUS and any chronic condition can come with attached complications. Those may or may not be related. My kidney disease is not related to the MGUS and subsequent multiple myeloms advancement. But there are things that bleed over and we are right to educate ourselves. Following a diet that is beneficial to us as an individual [reminder we are all different!] can really help us. I have anemia also, due to the myeloma, and kidney disease. For me, I get injections but also work hard at having a good source of protein and healthy food. Difficult when I have no appetite, but it's a challenge I accept.
