Typically there’s a food that’s triggering an immune response. Then that food will cause recurring problems long term. That’s why it’s very important to keep a food diary and regularly review it to see if you catch what’s going wrong. It’s amazing to see the number of easily avoidable problems if you just pay attention and you may be thinking so what are some of these problem foods for Lupus now, like I said earlier everybody’s different but this research article from a few years ago shows an altered intestinal environment is closely associated with the inflammation scene in lupus. Now, you shouldn’t be surprised by this considering around 70 to 80% of your immune system is contained in your gut. So when you have an immune disease such as lupus you need to look at what’s wrong in your intestines some Food when it’s not broken down properly can trigger a strong immune response frequently inflammation starts in the intestine.

I recorded this video earlier and it discusses how the immune system can be triggered by certain complex proteins. We eat protein in our diets. It can come from a variety of sources both plant and animal a protein is basically a bunch of amino acids connected together when the protein enters our digestive system enzymes in our intestine break up these into individual components called amino acids, which then get absorbed. These intestinal enzymes are called proteases. And the reason this is relevant is sometimes the proteases don’t get the job done and we’re left with large particles of protein that linger in our intestines and bloodstream for long periods of time. Why does this happen? Well certain types of protein are hard to break down. Also, there may not be enough protease to break down. The proteins protease enzymes are produced by our bodies, but can also be found in many types of plants as you already know the gut is just one big giant immune organ. So these incompletely digested proteins register as a foreign threat and generate an immune response. Basically the body thinks it’s under attack by these large undidested proteins. So then it secretes a bunch of immune chemicals which cause inflammation and that can be a problem. Let me give you some examples bovine serum antibodies and autoimmune disease There are some very famous studies that looked into this the human body’s response to beef and cow’s milk. In many people the serum protein from cows is not broken down completely and folks end up with antibodies. These antibodies are 10 times more common and immune disease casein and whey many folks cannot break down the casein in milk protein. Some people also have a difficulty with the way itself. If you’re dealing with an immune inflammation, it’s best to avoid casing altogether and probably also most whey products this includes dairy milk and cheese. Also, check your protein powder to make sure it’s not causing you problems. I prefer a plant-based protein. But if you decide to use whey I would recommend a way isolate not a way concentrate which contains small amounts of casing in it. There are some person to person variation on this. So if you’re just starting off, it’s best to avoid this all together, but once you’ve mastered the process you’ll be able to see how things evolve. There is a type of casein called A2 that’s a bit easier to digest but it’s hard to find and you have to specifically look for cow’s milk. That’s A2. I’ll post a link in the notes section about this. gluten this is one is very famous because it’s estimated that nearly a third of a population has an issue with this and I think it might be a multi-factorial problem. I’ll post a link to an article. I wrote on the topic but to summarize I tell most folks to limit their contact with gluten containing products in general this includes anything to do with wheat flour. egg protein this one is a tough one because many people who give up meat rely on eggs as a source of protein some nutritionists would disagree with me on this and I’ll again post a link to help clarify this topic since there’s a lot of misinformation. The data from several studies show that egg protein can trigger a strong immune response in the body specifically in folks with immune inflammatory disorders, but not in every person. My suggestion is to cut this out for a few months or just a little while to see if it makes an overall difference egg whites can sometimes be reintroduced when the time is right and I want to be clear. I’m not saying that these foods are bad. What I’m saying is when you’re trying to decrease inflammation in the body and you intend to do it really quickly. The best thing to do is to limit these types of proteins in the diet short term. It’s also very important to consider taking a protease enzyme supplement with your largest meal. You can also get protease from plant sources. Here’s a list of foods with protease in them sprouts and microgreens probably have the highest concentration others include asparagus. Buckwheat, Japanese pagoda. avocado papaya pineapple cucumber garlic coconut flaxseed spirulina figs Chlorella ginger root and aloe vera Plants contain enzymes which help break up protein large undigested protein provoke an unwanted immune response in our guts. So the more that they’re broken down by enzymes the better. The enzymes that that just proteins are known as proteases and plants produce proteases to help with fruit ripening and seedling growth. We use them obviously to stay healthy the names of these enzymes include Sarah peptase natokinase catalase bromelain and papain. These are just examples in our diet. We hardly get enough of these unless we’re eating a ton of microgreens or Sprouts which is why you should consider taking this protease supplement. If you have immune inflammation next in this category of enzymes is Coenzyme Q10, which is found in green and leafy vegetables. But you can also get this from a supplement. I hope you’re starting to notice a trend here green and leafy vegetables. Hold a lot of value here across multiple phyto categories, so to seeds and sprouts and herbs and spices the trouble I find is that it’s hard to get a substantial amount of enzyme from everyday food. So a lot of folks just take supplements to help with this again not all produce supplements are created equal and you have to be sure that the enzymes you’re ordering have confirmed activity across a variety of pH environments because your stomach is acidic your small bowel is alkaline in your blood is neutral to slightly basic. So ideally you need an enzyme blend that functions across all three. All right. I hope you enjoy that video now.
