alternate probiotics regularly to mimic how you would naturally receive them from foods. It may be recommended to be on supplements for GI repair like l-glutamine, or DGL. I frequently use Arabinogalactan/ Larch which is a pre-biotic, source of fi ber, and stimulates the immune system.
Autoimmune conditions often affect proper excretion through the kidneys and need strengthening of the pathways through the liver, sometimes due to high medication usage. Liver supporting supplements include liposomal glutathione; vegetables like broccoli, dandelion greens, and spinach; NAC; milk thistle and artichoke. For kidneys, hydration is important, eating less sugary and processed foods, and unsweetened cranberry juice, amongst others.
In addition to the key areas identi-
fi ed above, it is important to make lifestyle changes and to avoid foods that are more pro-infl ammatory like red meat, saturated fat, simple sugar and processed meat. For many of my patients, we may consider the autoimmune paleo diet on the initial onset of disease and a maintenance plan there- after. These recommendations are highly benefi cial to overall health and manage- ment of your autoimmune condition and proper care with a trained ND professional will help to keep your symptoms at bay.
