Today we're gonna talk about the proinflammatory diet and Hashimoto's. So inflammatory diets are one of the many triggers of Hashimoto's tyroid disease and inflammatory foods are a lot of protein foods, it's meats and, and eggs, and, and just all, a lot of, a lot of things that are hard to digest more or less, a lot of meat, a lot of meat. And so grains, grains are there. And, and this is not the intention of me is to go through the whole ProAm diet because the, the proinflammatory diet or the pro antiinflammatory diet is it was, it was pretty much put together for auto autoimmune patients. And I think it was put together by Sarah Valentine and, and, and it's when it's still used a lot. It's still used quite a bit for, for auto immunity.

Now I I'll make a caveat. And what, and the reason that you want to follow a proinflammatory diet and the reason I'm not getting into it, I mean, you can look proinflammatory diet up online, and you'll be anti-inflammatory and you'll be, you'll be reading for a, and there's different people. Who've put 'em together, but the, the original and the classic is the anti in autoimmune paleo diet is that's the original anti-inflammatory diet. And then I've used it for years, but I don't use it as much as I used to. The premise of it is correct. The premise of it is it takes out all the foods that creates inflammation in your system, 75% of your immune system, 70%, however much it is, depending on who you're reading is in your intestines. And so it makes sense that if you have auto immunity, you start dampening inflammation in your intestines.

75% of your immune system is there. You're gonna start dampening if it immune inflammatory responses against your thyroid. Having said that there's a little caveat in here for me, about 75%, 70% of my patients come in, have something called small intestinal bacteri overgrowth. So, and that's a lot of my patients that have that. So if you go on the autoimmune paleo diet, then you will probably blow up. You'll probably start getting bloating and gas and distension. If you are one of the people who have small intestinal bacteria overgrow. So if you do that, then you need to know that you need to go to at the very, a low FODMAP diet. Another caveat is if you get on the autoimmune paleo diet and you don't seem to be doing well and you're, and, and you're not bloating up, or even if you are bloating up and if you haven't and if you don't know your food sensitivities, of course, the autoimmune paleo diet removes all of your food sensitivities, and then eventually you're supposed to start reintroducing them.
