What are antibodies? Antibodies are the part of human immune system that collects all the data about harmful elements known as antigens in our body like viruses, parasites and fungus. They label all these injurious elements after identifying. Antibodies stick together with the antigens. This means that every cell contains antigens which the immune system knows about. Antigens have information with them by which they are supposed to make the immune system understand whether or not they are harmful.
Hashimoto’s disease is very complicated. In this problem, the immune system starts to work against the body itself. Hashimoto’s disease is diagnosed by checking thyroid antibodies. You need to be very cautious about what you eat while having such a disease. Here is a list of diets to follow that are helpful for people with hashimoto’s thyroiditis:
1. No gluten diet
Gluten is a name that includes multiple proteins found in wheat, rye and barley. There are two varieties of problems that people can have with gluten:
Gluten is a major element of many food items that we consume in our routine. Some of the gluten carriers are barley, rice and wheat. Gluten in your body causes these two issues:
- Non-celiac gluten sensitivity—patients tend to be totally intolerant to gluten in this condition.
- Ciliac’s disease—patients upon intake of certain proteins have immediate inflammation because of rise in blood levels of certain minerals.
2. Paleo diet
A paleo diet is one in which a person is not permitted to eat anything which is created by human beings artificially. Dairy products, processed foods or even grains are considered harmful. These diets are higher in healthy fats. These diets along with being extremely difficult to maintain in our age’s lifestyle are also to some extent dangerous because your body does not intake enough carbohydrates this way.
3. Low Fodmap diet
The abbreviation for this name refers towards avoiding Fermentable, Oligo-Di-Monosaccharides And Polyols. It’s just a name to make the dieter remember what he has to avoid in this case. Fodmap is mostly advantageous but it may also harm certain people whose bodies react differently. It can cause gas issues, bloating or cramping. This diet removes these non healthy food groups from the system replacing them with healthy carbohydrates like:
- Fructose
- Lactose
- Fructans
- Galactans
- Polyols
