Answer to Question 1

You could suggest that she check out the website of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (www.eatright.org) or the American Society for Clinical Nutrition for information. If she does not want to use the Internet, she could look in her phone book for registered dietitians in her area. If she cannot find this information on her own, she could ask her doctor for a referral to a registered dietitian. She may also be able to find reliable information online from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
