Non-weight MFP success story

stumblinthrulife

My wife has been having some health issues that docs have been unable to explain. They suspected it was somewhere between Meniere's and migraines, and put her on a low salt, no chocolate, no alcohol, no coffee diet to see if it helped.

I put her on MFP for a month to make sure she stuck to it, and I also had her log every time she had an attack. Through good logging we have found a pretty convincing correlation between her salt intake (at a given any meal, not just daily) and her symptoms. We went back to the doc for a follow up, and I showed him the food report on my iPad. He was so impressed with MFP that he took the name down to check it out, and may start recommending to his patients.

The wife is now on a diuretic to reduce her salt, and can actively monitor and control her diet to (hopefully) avoid issues in the future. So thank you MFP :drinker:
