Abstract
There are many studies have reported that nutritional deficiencies (macro and micronutrients) are involved in the etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS).1
Some neurological complications such as polyneuropathy and optic neuropathy that are common in MS have been observed in consequential severe weight loss (WL) after bariatric surgery. There are two viewpoints to explain this event; nutritional deficiencies and releasing of inflammatory cytokines after severe WL.
