Transverse myelitis diet. Is there a diet which improves the quality of life of people with Transverse myelitis?

A balanced diet low in fats. Eliminate or reduce alcohol intake, and exercise as permitting.

There's no specific diet that has been determined to be crucial for transverse myelitis patients however in saying that those who are eating more natural foods was processed foods or no processed foods low amounts of sugar I am ounce of vitamins and mineral rich food are important less complex carbohydrates more fruit based carbohydrates are helpful in giving the body a little bit more energy those people with transverse myelitis have very low vitamin D3 levels as well as B12 therefore increasing both of those are important many people are unable to absorb vitamin B12 even sublingually there for injections of B12 are typically helpful and needed to battle the severity of the fatigue. Personally it's also extremely important due to bladder and bowel function dysfunction that high-fiber magnesium psyllium husk ground flaxseed aloe juice all seem to assist with the bowel and bladder. I personally suffer incontinence issues with constipation along with the inability to fully empty my bladder I have been lucky that I don't typically have to use a straight Cath because I found other ways to help my body to release I do not have sensation of bladder or bowel only pressure and pain therefore timing is really important utilizing a Timing System continuously going to the bathroom even if you just sit there to train the bladder and the bowel to release. Many people have found that eating a Whole Foods rich in nutrients filtered water organic all those things do assist the body in its own immune system which therefore is a little stronger to fight against the disease that's it hyperactive within the autoimmune system

None yet that I've tried

A Paleo diet is said to improve symptoms of MS, and can reverse its effects. (see Dr Terry Wahls on YouTube for more info on this) As TM is similar to MS as it involves demyelination of the nerves, a Paleo diet may help. I have not yet tried this but am going to start next week, so will update in the future.

As natural and real of food as you can afford. Nothing from packages or any kind of container. If it breathed or free at sometime it is okay.

I'm not aware of any diet that could improve the quality of life for a TM sufferer, eat healthily & watch that calorie intake if you can, your levels of exercise may decrease but your appetite wont...

I responded well to the elimination of gluten in my diet.

No special dietary requirements. However spicy foods to be avoided if possible

I started a vegan diet 3 weeks ago and i feel better. The pain has subsided a lot. It is not as often. I have more energy.

Wahls Diet, and you avoid processed foods. You want to eat clean.

Low inflammatory diet.

No, I've heard that a completely raw vegan diet can help, but I've never tried it personally.

Diet is important to be sure but I have no info. I am an old divorced man that never learned to cook so my diet is awful.

There are foods that should be eaten that are rich in copper, iron and vitamin B12 which is found in many green vegatables. Gi ger is good for nervous disorders, also genuine Manuka Honey, Brazil Nuts and Walnuts.
I would recommend staying away from any processed foods,

I have had TREMENDOUS success with the Ketogenic diet, it has improved feeling and given me more enerfy

There are many myths around diets for this and that but a healthy diet is advisable. Some people swear by gluten free diets for both Transverse Myelitis and MS and have had good results.

A diet of foods, like cumin, that reduces inflammation in the body.

If the transverse myelitis is caused by inflammation, then the ketogenic diet might be a good thing. Multiple research studies show that this diet helps other neurological inflammatory conditions. Very likely, if the diet does help, it would not be needed long term since seizure patients can typically be weaned off the diet after 2 years. It's worth a try, but should be done under a doctor's supervision because it is not a balanced diet. Both supplementary nutrients and medications to prevent osteoporosis are needed. However, it has shown promise for many neurological conditions, so it's worth a try, provided you can get proper medical supervision.

I've been told a high protein diet also anti-inflammatory

I lost the ability to feel hungry. My body is constantly telling my brain I’m feeling full so I don’t get tummy rumbles and my bowel is lazy because of the mixed messages. When I smell food I like it but I don’t get the signals to eat. When I eat I enjoy my food but i have to battle the urge that I’m full.
Fibre and laxatives makes it worse because it sits and doesn’t digest. Not much fun. I have to wait till my bowels are full (about once a week) and then I suddenly go all at once

This info relates to MS but could also be very applicable to those with TM.
Recent Findings
Recent research in preclinical models, epidemiologic studies, and limited prospectively followed cohorts provide preliminary evidence that dietary factors influence MS incidence, disease course, and symptomatology. Current evidence for the effects of fatty acids, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and salt are reviewed. Dietary patterns including overall diet quality, caloric restriction, McDougall diet, Paleolithic diet, and Mediterranean diet are discussed. Hypotheses regarding potential mechanistic connections underlying observed effects are also presented.

Summary
Several individual dietary components and patterns demonstrate potential for significant impact in MS. Definitive answers regarding the ability of diet to act as a disease modifier in MS will ultimately require large-scale clinical trials. Continued prospective studies and clinical trials to further advance this line of research are warranted.

As far as I know, there is no special diet for TM. I try to eat healthy unprocessed foods as much as possible. I am also a pescatarian.
