This has nothing to do with anything, just thinking about it. I have been trying to eat healthier for a LONG time, way before I got the MS diagnosis. It is a challenge though, especially when you have been a finicky eater throughout life. My tastes have grown somewhat over the years though, and lately I have been stepping up the pace on trying new foods. I have recently had squash on a couple of different occasions, and while it isn't something I would think about cooking, it actually wasn't bad. I put it on my "so-so" list for now, but will probably add it into my diet for variety. The same with cauliflower. They served me cauliflower on my first hospital stay in May. I ate it because it was on my plate, and I needed nutrition. I can't say I particularly enjoyed it, but again, it was so-so. On my second hospital stay they must have got a good deal on it, because I got cauliflower every day. And I ate it every day. I will probably add it to the rotation as well.
Broccoli I have eaten through the years, but only cooked. And it has to be chopped. Preferably in a casserole or something. I have tried it raw, at salad bars and such but that just doesn't do it for me. I guess I don't like the texture, it seems dry and crumbly and tastes like weeds?
For the MS'ers I am going to be adding some resources and links about diet going forward. Don't be afraid to research diet and I urge you to include dietary needs with your medical team to get their advice regarding your own particular situation.
