Have you thought about how your MS meds affect your microbiome? 💊🤔

On an episode of The MSing Link podcast, I dove deep into the microbiome with Dr. Lindsey Elmore.

💥 Research shows a strong connection between our microbiome and the medications we take — especially for people with a chronic illness like MS 💥

Our gut microbiome is key to metabolism, immune function, and brain health, but meds like antibiotics, PPIs, antidepressants, and laxatives can disrupt the balance.

Here are a few of Dr. Elmore’s tips on how people with MS can heal their gut:

1️⃣ Remove Gut Triggers

Eliminate inflammatory foods like gluten, sugar, and dairy, and reduce stimulants like caffeine.

2️⃣ Diversify Your Diet

Eat colorful, fiber-rich foods and add fermented foods (like yogurt and kimchi) to your diet. 🥗

3️⃣ Rebalance Stress and Attitude

Manage stress with meditation, yoga, or eliminating unnecessary stressors to help your gut-brain axis function better. 🧘‍♀️

Taking steps to support your gut health can make a big difference in your MS symptoms!
