Do special diets help the MND?
Special diets will not affect the progression of MND. A nutritious diet will help to ensure you are receiving adequate supplies of vitamins and minerals, which will help with energy levels. A referral to a dietician can be most useful; they will sometimes advise a diet which contains more carbohydrates to help prevent too much weight loss. An assessment by a dietician is essential before increasing any part of your diet or taking extra supplements.
