TLDR A clinical nutrition program improved sensory and motor function in a 60-year-old with anti-MAG neuropathy.
A 60-year-old truck driver with anti-MAG neuropathy experienced significant improvements in sensory loss and motor function after following a clinical nutrition program. Initially presenting with fatigue, leg weakness, and sensory deficits, the patient refused intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and instead adopted a gluten-free diet with various supplements. Upon further intervention, he was placed on an anti-inflammatory diet and supplement regimen including vitamin D, omega fatty acids, turmeric, and resveratrol. After 30 days, improvements in vibration sensation and gait were observed, and after 60 days, further sensory and motor improvements were noted. These improvements were maintained over six months, even after discontinuing some supplements. One year later, the neuropathy had not progressed, suggesting potential benefits of clinical nutrition and supplementation in managing anti-MAG neuropathy.
