Ghee is another good choice. There is also research that it can lower the risk of heart disease. Grass fed butter: a great source of vitamin K2 which helps decalcify arteries and is important for proper blood clotting.I’ve not ever taken this one while pregnant/nursing and would definitely check with a doc first if you are. Pu-ehr tea – A rich, earthy tea that is said to help cholesterol levels (not a problem for me) and other things.Slightly sweeter than dandelion naturally and great flavor. It is said to be great for the liver and for digestion and I love the earthy taste. For my Autoimmuni-Tea Herbal Coffee Substitute, I’ve found a variety of teas and herbs will work.

I’ve also consumed a mug of warm bone broth at times, though it doesn’t have quite the same appeal. It isn’t exactly the same, but it is an easy way to sneak in some collagen protein and healthy fats. I still love drinking something warm and nourishing in the morning, so when coffee isn’t an option, I make an herbal tea substitute. The easiest way to know is to remove it for a month (or longer) and then gauge reaction when it is added back in. In other words, coffee is great for some people, but others have trouble with it. Coffee is one of the most common cross-reactive foods to gluten, meaning some people’s bodies may recognize them as the same or very similar. If you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, you should definitely explore the possibility that coffee may be harmful to you. Again, many people do just fine with this, but I found that my cortisol patterns were the opposite of what they were supposed to be (low in morning and high an night) and found that temporarily removing coffee and caffeine helped a lot.Īdditionally, individuals with celiac disease should consider removing coffee because of the potential cross reactivity. Most people do just fine with coffee, but I’ve found it is helpful to stop drinking it for a month or so once in a while just to make sure my body is doing ok with it and to mix things up a little.Īnother possible concern with coffee is the caffeine content. In the case of the itty bitty seeds in blueberries, those compounds have such a low toxicity level as to have a negligible effect on our health (and the beneficial antioxidants and polyphenols in blueberries more than compensate!).

In the case of wheat, those compounds cause increased intestinal permeability (i.e., leaky gut) and prime the immune system to exaggerate inflammation and potentially cause autoantibody formation, which is clearly detrimental to our health. Right away this should put us on the alert since seeds tend to contain protective compounds to prevent digestion and thereby ensure the survival of the plant species. As Sarah Ballantyne explains:Ĭoffee is made from a seed (not a legume, but the pit of the coffee fruit). I avoid coffee on the autoimmune reset because coffee is technically a seed, not a bean. However, at times I find it is better not to consume coffee and a small percentage of people won’t tolerate it at all. I’m not anti-coffee at all and there are many health benefits attributed to coffee. I love coffee, especially when I make it with healthy fats and collagen, but there are times that I choose not to consume coffee (like during my 30-Day Autoimmune Reset).
