This study focuses on better understanding how diet influences quality of life in MPN patients. We will test whether an anti-inflammatory food regime can help alleviate symptoms and decelerate disease progression.
Participants will meet with study staff to collect non-invasive samples, undergo anthropometric and metabolic measurements, and answer study related questionnaires. Samples to be collected include blood and stool samples.
Participants will be compensated $50 for each visit and providing samples if simply continuing their regular food intake, or $90 each month if trying an anti-inflammatory food regime for 3 months and completing the study visits and providing samples. Participants who adhere to an anti-inflammatory regime and would like to continue a further 9 months may be eligible to continue participating with a compensation of $90 per month. Study participants in all groups would receive information related to body inflammation, vitamin D levels, and metabolism if desired.
Total maximum compensation of $150, $270 and $810 depending on study group.
