I utilize the functional medicine approach to autoimmune disease, which involves closing up the gut lining, bringing down inflammation, encouraging the growth of a variety of good bacteria in the gut, and decreasing toxic exposures. This will likely entail a gluten free diet, dairy free or at minimum A1 protein free, a large variety of colorful plants, healthy fats, plant based (beans/nuts) and lean animal based (chicken/fish/eggs) proteins, and avoiding processed foods. I will also educate you on how to practically limit your exposure to pesticides and phthalates, as well as how to avoid plastics in food contamination. Supplements to close the intestinal lining, antioxidant supplements, and probiotics will also likely be utilized. While results are variable, MOST people with autoimmune disease will see some or significant improvement if they follow my advice. There are always those who have chronic stubborn cases that do not resolve, but in my experience, they are in the minority.
