What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effects of a flavonoid-rich Mediterranean diet on individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition influenced by environmental factors like nutrition. This study aims to understand how this specialized diet might impact disease parameters in people living with MS. Participants will follow a set of dietary guidelines focusing on consuming foods rich in flavonoids as part of an adjusted Mediterranean diet. The study includes three key assessment timepoints: before starting the strict diet, after completing the diet, and following a three-month follow-up period. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in the participants' gut microbiota at these three intervals. The total study duration includes initial diet adherence and a follow-up phase to evaluate lasting effects. Participants will be regularly assessed to track how the diet influences their condition over time.
