CAN ANYONE TELL ME "WHAT TO EAT???" I am so tied of hearing "eat this, no don't, eat that, OH no that bad for you".....no one seems to know what diet to follow. The FODMAP diet is a joke!! Half the stuff on there I can eat due to my re-flux and the other half is horrible! I know to avoid sugar (SIBO) and acid foods (re-flux), so what's left?? I am going to try the gluten free for now UNLESS someone clues me in on another way to go....so frustrated!!!

Hi!! Each of our bodies are so unique. What is okay for you might harm me. So taking that approach no one can really tell you what you can safely digest. We can only give you our stories and you filter out the information for your own health concerns. Gluten free foods are really worse junk food. Gluten zero is a medical diet for Celiac and some are helped that have other autoimmune diseases. I am currently on a medical diet called AIP (autoimmune protocol). You can read more by simply googling it. It gives you a list of allowable foods that help heal from inflammation and help to examine when and how to reintroduce foods after healing has happened. Talking to ones that don't understand fully your individual health needs causes anxiety. Don't make eating (uniquely) such a subject in life. Eat how you should and as little attention brought to it the better. Eat and then live. Change the subject when it is brought up, it is no one elses concern. Good luck!!!

Yes, autoimmune is diet controlled, so much of our diet tolerances is genes, What can upset one person won't hurt someone else, that's why it's important to find what kind of foods are causing your health issues. By eliminating certain food groups for a month or so and see how your body reacts is a way to find out what is causing your inflammation. In my case it was fruit in other cases it could be dairy, gluten, carbs, ect. Also try avoid harmful preservatives, pesticides, food colors ect try to eat whole foods and organic as much as possible. My husband can eat all the sugar and crap and he has no problems and doesn't gain weight, I just look at that food and get sick!!

My Gastrointestinal Doc suggested the SIBO Diet...google it...had helped me tremendously!
