Dietary Approaches to Treat Multiple Sclerosis-Related Fatigue Study

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the Swank Diet (low saturated fat) and the Wahls Elimination Diet (modified paleo) on fatigue levels in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who have documented fatigue. Participants will follow their usual diet for 12 weeks and then be randomly assigned to follow one of the two diets for 24 weeks. Individuals will continue with their current treatments in addition to following the study diet. The study requires four visits to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa. Visits will be 12 weeks apart. Study activities include fasting blood draws, weighed food records, motor and cognitive testing, physical activity assessment, questionnaires, and daily diet checklists while following the study diet. Some reimbursement available.
