Joint and muscle pain, headaches, diarrhea, gas, bloating, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, are involved in the autoimmune response. When the immune system thinks it has been attacked for a long time, it becomes chronically stressed.
The first food to look at is gluten as humans are not designed to digest it so it causes problems such as:
Celiac & IBS Chron's Disease Arthritis
but has also been implicated in other auto-immune diseases. Sugar is another damaging food. It creates problems in the intestines and exacerbates any existing contiditons.
A detox programme is the first part of the SLIMFIX programme which allows the small intestine repair itself.
