Scleroderma is a debilitating autoimmune disease that can cause a wide variety of symptoms. It is estimated that up to 400,000 people in the United States have scleroderma, although only a fraction have been formally diagnosed.
This condition is characterized as hardening and scarring of the skin and tissues, which can affect any organ in the body. The cause of scleroderma is unknown, but it is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells and tissues.
While there is no cure for scleroderma, there are treatments available that can help manage the disease and improve quality of life. One important aspect of managing scleroderma is diet. A healthy diet can help to reduce inflammation, ease digestive problems, and improve overall health.
This beginner's quick start guide will give you an introduction to the basics of a scleroderma diet. We'll cover the benefits of a healthy diet for people with scleroderma, as well as provide some tips on how to get started. We'll also share a few samples of curated recipes to help you get started.
