I have had two chronic auto immune diseases caused by food allergies which was really due to stress and leaky gut. I cured myself of the first (by avoiding wheat and gluten) and have greatly controlled the second (almost no flare ups) by avoiding sugar and limiting carbs. The first (which it’s been proven I am ok now) was Ulcerative Colitis and the second (rare outbreaks now) is Rhuematoid Arthritis. Do not underestimate the power of keeping a food diary and trying an elimination diet to figure out your triggers. And don’t forget to pray!!
Thanks! God bless.
