Here are key foods and drinks to avoid or limit with MG:
• Regular milk (opt for yogurt and cheese instead)
• Salty snacks and processed foods (especially if on steroids)
• Spicy foods that may upset your stomach
• Foods high in sodium, including seemingly innocent items like store-bought cookies and granola bars
Remember to check food labels for sodium content and time your meals around medication peaks for best results. Additional lifestyle considerations:
• Avoid talking while eating
• Skip chewing gum as it can tire jaw muscles
• Don't exercise without proper precautions (take breaks, use lower weights, fewer repetitions)
• Avoid sharing drinks or food with others
• Stay away from allergens if you have known allergies
Always discuss new medications with your healthcare provider, as some may need to be avoided or monitored more carefully.
