What to Eat When One Has Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune diseases are mainly caused by inflammation. Inflammation is caused by one’s diet. Sugar is a main cause of inflammation. Our bodies are not meant to handle all the sugar we consume on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the western diet is full of sugar. Fructose is also a main factor in inflammation. Simply changing one’s diet can help cure one’s autoimmune disease with the help of medicine or surgery, whichever is recommended by a doctor.

Key Takeaways:

  • Autoimmune responses can be tripped by eating an amount of sugar that most people think is a normal but the body considers excessive.
  • Frequent alcohol drinking increases blood toxin concentration, which can cause inflammation.
  • Soy, dairy, and grains are all autoimmune triggers that should be avoided, but Vitamin D is a valuable autoimmune regulator.

“Whether it’s a new diagnosis or one has been living with autoimmune disease for a while, one may be ready to figure out what’s triggering one’s flare-ups.”
