I was dx with Celiac disease in 2014, so I had already cut out gluten. I also have Hashimoto's, which is also an autoimmune disease. I have a fabulous Dr who monitors my thyroid and other hormones. She highly recommended the Autoimmune Diet for 30 days. I ended up following it for 93 days because I felt so good! I also lost 30 pounds, which was a bonus. NO nightshades, no grains, no legumes, no beans or peas, no nuts or seeds, no dairy, no eggs. All of these things can be inflammatory and I needed to find out which foods were causing me issues. Once I did that, I kept eating whole foods. Unfortunately, I deal with stress by eating the wrong things. I slowly got back into eating sugar filled items. I gained 30 pounds back in a year. I am all swollen again and just feel like crap.
Since my diagnosis, I have done a lot of research on BC specific diets an supplements and other alternative therapies.
Soy milk is absolutely fine, in fact, it may actually have protective benefits. A whole foods, plant based diet would be ideal. But the Mediterranean Diet is also good. The main thing is to cut out sugar, processed foods, simple carbs, alcohol. Flaxseed is also shown to have benefits to BC. Mushrooms, especially Mesima type, have benefits. The extract is what supplement to take. Vit D3 w/K2 is important for all cancers. Vit C, Zinc.
MOVE YOUR BODY! rid your body of any excess fat. Sweat!
Remember to keep your meals simple and real food.

Thank you for sharing your food regiment. I don’t know what celiac disease is, I will have to google it. Thank you again.

Wow, there is so much conflicting info. I've read Flaxseed has a lot of estrogen so I just avoid it.
I also read legumes are very good for a protein, I'd think better than ANY DELI MEAT , anything compressed and emulsified with chemicals us NOT ideal at all. I do try to buy most things,meats, grains, especially strawberries and most fruits organic,etc.. I've started using Monkfruit/w/ stevia packets for sweetening. I try to eat fresh tumeric chopped small is tolerable in salads. Anti-inflammatory is important. Lowering all processed carbs (pasta is one :((((!!) is also important. I drink a spoonful of Black seed oil a few times or more a week. Its I think from the Tumeric seeds. I actually feel more energized when I do....AND I always refil bottles in bulk gallons of Alkaline water from W,Foods or fr whatever Health food stores have that set up... The body should be in an Alkaline PH as much as possible because cancer grows in acidic PH more so...
The reason exercise (which I wish to do more of starting this week!) is so important is that when endorphines or some ??cellular activity is reached after lets say at least 20 minutes of cardio it acts as some sort of protection to slow malilgnant cell growth (don't quote my exact words...)but if Bcancer proliferates in fat cells than lets get rid of more fat....
