Water, eat more: Frequently, and go shopping for a pretty little outfit you can only fit in if you avoid binge eating. Works for me! except i don't wear pretty little outfits...

Can a different diet help my fibrofog?

Probably: Eating fresh real food, not food from packages or mixes, will give you the nutrients you may be lacking. Organic brightly colored fruits and vegetables, free of pesticides, are ideal. Nuts in small amounts good, too. Do not eat fried foods and sugar (added sugar, sugared drinks, alcohol, anything with high fructose corn syrup, baked sweets, candy, ice cream, etc).

Depends: Diet depends on your medical conditions and what you want in your body. The usda food guide is a safe way to find balanced nutrition by focusing on the food groups that are most vital to our health. Seek your doctor's help to tailor a diet plan that is personalized just for you and your needs.

Unlikely: I am not aware of a link of diet to causation of ms, but many people with MS tend to be constipated, which can be aggravated by dietary factors.

Eat healthy foods!: You need a lifestyle modification diet that you can live with that nourishes, provides needed protein, and is caloric restrictive without starvation. How about a huge veggie salad with some grilled fish or chicken, small olive oil and vinegar. Everyone will notice and want some! just tell people that this is how you like to eat because it's healthy. Then, go for a 10 minute walk.
