Three key themes and seven subthemes representing participants' experiences and needs were generated: (1) <jats:italic>nutrition guidance is overlooked in routine MS care<\/jats:italic> due to HCPs prioritising medication over nutrition, resulting in the perception that plwMS are their own nutrition educators; (2) <jats:italic>routine nutrition guidance is needed<\/jats:italic>, highlighting the desire to receive accessible and meaningful MS\u2010related nutrition information from HCPs with nutrition knowledge for MS;\u00a0and (3) <jats:italic>person\u2010centred care is a priority<\/jats:italic>, highlighting the importance of acknowledging that no one\u2010size\u2010fits\u2010all approach exists for plwMS, providing a holistic approach to the coordination of nutrition care and access to dietetic services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study generated insights into the gaps between the needs and experiences of plwMS with nutrition\u2010related care during routine MS care, which may impact their MS journey. PlwMS seek credible, simple, consistent and MS\u2010specific advice to be provided routinely for their care. Our findings underscore the need for individualised nutrition care from a nutrition\u2010qualified HCP or dietitian.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jhn.70042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]],"date-time":"2025-03-19T07:34:19Z","timestamp":1742369659000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Exploring
