Effects of Swank and Wahls Diets on Fatigue in Relapsing-Remitting MS (Planned Study)

This study was designed to compare the effects of the Swank Diet and the Wahls Elimination Diet on fatigue levels in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis over a follow-up period of 12 to 36 weeks. Participants would initially follow their usual diet for 12 weeks, then be randomly assigned to one of the two diets for 24 weeks.
