Thanks for the advice!!!! I think the paleo is a good idea also. I've been looking into it, but haven't fully made any choices yet. But I appreciate the input, I've heard that since MS and Crohn's are autoimmune that following a similar diet is really helpful. I hadn't met anyone yet to confirm that though, so I'm glad to…
