Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah. So the research shows that patients with autoimmune disease tend to have much higher levels of food sensitivities. And that's like common ones that they've tested are like dairy products, gluten as well. So we know that they are much more likely to have reactions to foods. And we have to distinguish between food allergy and food sensitivity.

So a food allergy is like what people think of usually, like you react to shellfish or peanuts and you can't breathe or your lip swells up. That's an immediate reaction that's a food allergy. But a food sensitivity is actually something quite different. There may be no symptoms. There could be delayed symptoms, like up to two to three days after ingesting the food.

There could be nonspecific symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, or malaise, headaches, congestion. Or there could just be inflammation triggered in the body without symptoms.

um food sensitivities are what we think about and that's the reason for eliminating those foods because those are some of the common sensitivities and you know we can do tests so like sometimes we test patients for food sensitivities and then use that as a guide to what they need to eliminate but statistically yeah gluten dairy are the two biggest food sensitivities

And those are a problem because they really inflame your immune system. So in the gut, when you are exposed to foods that you have antibodies against, which is what a food sensitivity is, then your immune system goes into hyperdrive. It's like constantly reacting to the foods you're eating every single day. And that just predisposes to autoimmunity and worsens autoimmunity.

So that's the main reason for that.
