Food + Autoimmune with Trichologist Brisbane

The driver of our immune system is in our digestive system, so food does contribute to autoimmune conditions, incidence and attack on our cells. A perceived healthy way of eating can be very different to how we should eat when there is an active autoimmune attack present. Active autoimmune in the case of Alopecia Areata and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia means Trichologist Brisbane has identified with a microscope that the attack is current or recent and things may get worse before they get better.

Autoimmune has been a mystery for decades but with modern science and microscopic diagnosis Trichologist Brisbane finds what used to appear to have no cause, now commonly is associated with food, allergies, deficiencies, stress and inflammation. Understanding the foods that hinder immune function and can trigger immune attack is free to learn and implement along with addressing deficiency, providing cellular nutrition and immune support.

Food + Autoimmune with Trichologist Brisbane:

Most common autoimmune deficiencies, ferritin, B12 and Vitamin D
Avoid gluten, dairy and sugar
You are not what you eat but what you absorb

Trichologist Brisbane finds the most common deficiencies related to autoimmunity are iron, ferritin, B12 and Vitamin D. Ferritin is a derivative of iron and needs B12 to assimilate many other functions. If we are not getting these through our diet, we will struggle to help the immune system. But is one thing to adjust your diet and another to make sure you are absorbing what you eat, especially if you have gone to the effort to make positive changes.

“Gluten, found mainly in wheat, will cause malabsorption of whatever it is consumed with it. Nooooo you say, but it is true. Gluten is GMO meaning a genetically modified organism, and blocks many pathways in our immune system as well as causing damage to your gut lining leading to leaky gut which allows particles into your blood stream, where they do not belong, so your immune system will create antibodies to otherwise normal healthy cell. Not a good idea when you already have the autoimmune attack going on” says Trichologist Brisbane.

The biggest dietary changes recommended by Absolique Trichologist Brisbane in presence of an autoimmune condition and an attack, are to avoid gluten, dairy (lactose and casein) and sugar. As mentioned above with gluten, most people’s immune systems cannot handle the lactose and casein found in dairy and on its own can trigger an autoimmune attack. Then there is sugar, the man-made stuff, it does your body no favours, delivers no nutrition and can give the bad bugs of the immune system power to feed of it. Gluten, dairy and sugar also cause inflammation not just of the immune system but in turn the body. Inflammation is related to autoimmunity so avoiding any associated foods are only of benefit to your immune system, digestion, absorption and overall health.
