A Place To Share Our Journey Through MS
Now That I know What I Have. I Am Learning & Sharing What I Need To Do To Live My Best Life With MS
If you have just found ForkUMS site and you're looking at this picture, you may wonder which one of us has MS. Women with MS outnumber men 3 to 1. MS onset generally happens between 20 and 40. I am the outlier on both, I am male and was diagnosed at 57 with MS.
The idea for this site is to document my journey through MS in a positive way. I am hoping to impact others in a beneficial manner as well. As soon as I was diagnosed I began researching. Doctor Google is not your friend, believing everything you read about a chronic condition such as MS can get depressing quickly. Lucky for me I have found some very positive people, doctors, role models, and now friends.
The goal of forkums.com is to share positivity. If you are living your best life with MS, finding new ways to do old things, making lifestyle changes that are helping overcome MS limitations, I want to hear from you...Really!
Having MS can be very lonely even if you have a great support system. We are a community, we must support each other, we are 100% Better Together.

Recipes for MS
Healthy Chicken burgers for an MS diet
We all have to eat so we may as well make it taste good, be nutritious, and treat your body well. With MS, I am Gluten and Dairy Free. I never had issues with gluten or dairy. From what I have read both can have an adverse effect on MS. Additionally going gluten-free and dairy-free makes me feel like I have some control over MS. On a day-to-day basis, I feel pretty good. I believe daily exercise, meditation, mindfulness, and diet have played a big role. I am also thankful to my doctors and the medication that I am taking. I hope this video helps you eat well
Flax Sweet Potato Bread.
It is high protein & anti inflammatory for MS.
Gluten-free & dairy-free does not have to be boring and bland. I follow a gluten-free & dairy-free diet to help my MS. I am always experimenting in the kitchen and trying to make my recipes tasty. I also make sure they contain ingredients that will help with Ms. This is my flax sweet potato bread. It is high in protein & anti inflammatory for MS. In addition to flax it contains cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, all things that fight inflammation and according to the research I have done, they are all good for MS.
Wings that will make you want to fly
Ever since I have gone gluten-free and dairy-free I have become a pretty good cook. Not everything comes out great so I experiment until it does. Here are my gluten-free and dairy-free chicken wings. I don't eat wings often because of the saturated fat content. When I do eat wings they better be good. Believe me, they say red Bull gives you wings, try these and you may fly away :).

Take away my dairy, take away my gluten, but do not take away my sweets. Since going gluten-free and dairy-free I have lost a lot of weight but I have not lost my sweet tooth. I don't eat sweets often but when I do these brownies and cookies are go to. They are good and good for you.
Gluten-free / Dairy-free Thai Basil Kickin Chicken
Time to turn up the heat in the MS kitchen. I love Thai food but I don't always trust Thai restaurants to serve it to me Gluten & Dairy free.
I did what I always do, figure out how to make it. Once it passes the taste test, I share. This is my Thai Basil Kickin Chicken, it's easy and quick to make. Gluten-free / Dairy-free does not have to be boring and tasteless. I hope you enjoy.
