Here's a wee bit science on MG, irritants & eating clean and common not-clean foods.
Decaf: Caffeine is a acetychloine-easterase inhibihitor (just like mestion). Caffeine irritates the digestive track. Water process decaf still has a small amount of caffeine. Non- Swiss water process decaf is decaffeinated by chemicals also an irritant to intestinal lining.
Nuts: Some people have actual nut allergies, but most people with auto immune issues have a hard time digesting nuts due to their high phytic acid levels. Phytic acid irritants the digestive track which then lets proteins,bacteria & such leak into you blood. Your immune system doesn't like foreign proteins, etc in your blood (think mad cow) so it attacks. Re triggering your auto-immune response.
So while decaf is a quick jolt to make a muscle talk to your nerves for a brief moment, drinking the decaf just possibly re-scratched your autoimmune response. Once the threshold is hit-BAM relapse!
The theory to eat "clean" is to not irritate the digestive track, not let protein leak into your blood, & finally let your intestinal lining heal. Hopefully eventually putting you into remission.
I am discovering that hot spices (nightshades-paprika, cayenne, chili)) and refined salts are two major irritants for me. Sneaky buggers are in everything-especially refined salts! Can't realistically eat out without getting a heap-full.
