Autoimmune diseases are chronic conditions that can be managed but not cured. Treatment usually cannot cure the disease, but it may reduce symptoms and help you manage the condition better. Specific treatments will vary depending on the type of autoimmune condition you have and its severity. However, most treatments fall into one of the categories below:
- Over-the-counter therapies
- Prescription medications
In some cases, the disease is reversible through changing your diet and lifestyle habits and balancing your immune system. Here are some steps that can help you reverse autoimmune disease:
1. Eliminate grains, dairy, legumes, nuts/seeds, nightshades, eggs, alcohol from your diet.
2. Once you start feeling better, reintroduce foods one by one, slowly, to see which foods produce a reaction.
3. Eat nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats.
4. Avoid processed foods and sugar.
5. Get enough sleep.
6. Exercise regularly.
7. Manage stress.
8. Consider supplements such as vitamin D3 and probiotics.
