Special diets for LEMS
@lorildunham‘s most recent column “Weighing the Pros and Cons of Special Diets for Autoimmune Disease” talks about an important topic for us in the LEMS world and the autoimmune world in general.
There has been many debates on whether a restrictive diet helps decrease inflammation thus lowering symptoms of chronic illness.
What is your take on this?
Have you tried a special diet for autoimmune disease/decreasing inflammation?
If so, what were your results? Did you think it helped you?

Great topic! And yes I think inflammation can be reduced through diet. One of my autoimmune issues, the celiac disorder, Dermatitis Herpetiformis I have, was definitely causing internal inflammation. I tried to deny it was an issue until I had an upper and lower GI done some years ago. That got me in the gastroenterologist’s office where I was shown images of my internal inflammation. That was all I needed. That and the doctor’s strong suggestion to go GF. I’ve been on the diet for years!
