Thyroid disease
Posted , 15 users are following.
Wondering how many of us have Autoimmune thyroid disease alongside LS. I was recently diagnosed with hashimotos.
Also, I'm concerned with two autoimmune diseases I believe I'm at risk for more! How can I get my body to stop attacking itself? I'm thinking diet has a role to play for sure as I'm convinced sugar wreaks havoc with my LS. I also understand there's a genetic factor here. Blood work showed my daughter is at risk for autoimmune diseases also.

I agree; diet is critical. My doctor pointed out that eating the wrong food for your body is a stressor. He said other stressors are pollution and the usual personal ones like overwork.
I went to him for diet recommendations re IBS, which came on strong before the LS. The diet: no dairy, minimal sugar (including fruit), no wheat, no flour, plenty of probiotic supplements, omega 3 oil daily, and lots of water. Since there are lots of people out there plugging into similar diets now, it's possible to do this by checking online.
I recommend you find a dietician or an alternative practitioner with diet expertise. My guy tuned into what my body was doing through live cell microscopy.
I feel like I owe him my life, or at the very least, my quality of life. When I venture off my diet, the next day I know it, one way or the other!!
All the best - good luck!!

Furthermore - I try to live with as little stress as possible. Leaving out 'irritating' foods as well. Which also serves the Lichen Planus in my mouth.
As others here are mentioning - be very careful with what you eat. I start to think that illnesses like LS have a lot to do with all the artificial items that are added to foodstuffs.
And I think that no illness stands by itself. Since all parts of our body are interconnected. With all the specializing going on it is seldom treated in combination with other parts of the human body or even considered making these kind of connections, even though the knowledge is available. Only nature paths will do that.

I eat well, with some minor sweets here n' there. I'll be curious to see how life in Vietnam affects things.
