let’s talk about if you should be consuming  eggs if you have an autoimmune condition  

like rheumatoid arthritis ms lupus type  1 diabetes now most autoimmune diseases  

stem from gut damage okay eighty percent of your  immune system is located in the digestive system  

and if we have the lining of the colon and we  break the links and we cause leaky gut proteins  

can leak into the lymphatic system which is right  behind this barrier right here once a protein  

like the protein in milk or wheat or egg  invades this barrier and ends up right in  

this area right here the lymphatic system your  immune system is going to tag this as a foreign  

toxin okay and now you have an allergy to  it and now every time you eat this thing  

you’re going to be inflamed and these allergic  reactions because some of these proteins are  

similar to your own cells can set you up for an  autoimmune disease where now you have antibodies  

they’re attacking your own tissues it’s in  the area of what’s called molecular mimicry  

one of the things that i always recommend  if you have an autoimmune condition  

is you go get an allergy test because what’s  going to happen is if you can identify what you’re  

allergic to whether it’s casein the protein in the  milk or the gluten of course if you’ve been on my  

channel you’re not consuming gluten because that’s  a grain but you you may be consuming cheese casein  

or egg these two right here are common allergies  and if you’re consuming these on your ketogenic  

diet and you have an autoimmune condition  that can actually make things worse so get  

an allergy test and then you can isolate what  you need to avoid for a while common allergies  

dairy it’s in the cheese it’s in the milk  it’s in the yogurt there’s several proteins  

in milk one is casein another is whey and there’s  actually more of course grains have the gluten  

and then you have protein eggs there’s protein in  nuts there’s protein in seeds once you do the test  

you’ll be able to isolate what you’re allergic to  and then you can avoid it now another thing that  

you really need to avoid if you have an autoimmune  condition is vegetable oils soy corn canola  

cottonseed oil all of those are omega-6 fatty  acids very inflammatory because dealing with  

autoimmune conditions is all about reducing  inflammation and the last thing you want to do  

is add more inflammation to an already inflamed  body if you don’t want to get an allergy test  

here’s another idea you can just go three days  without consuming any cheese or milk or dairy  

and just see how you feel and of course we  won’t talk about this because i already know  

you’re not consuming grains but this is a real  big one right here the gluten in grains severe  

inflammatory reactions you may want to  go like three days without consuming eggs  

and see how you feel if you feel better  chances are you could be sensitive to it  

same thing with nuts same thing with seeds the  same thing with other proteins like even fish  

when you do healthy keto and intermittent  fasting and you do periodic prolonged fasting  

what you’re going to find out is a lot of your  allergies are eventually going to go away because  

you’re strengthening the immune system all right  thanks for watching before you go if you have a  

question about a product or you’re new to keto  and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re  

on keto and you need a debug because it’s not  going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing
