You might notice that a lot of these foods are ANTI-inflammatory, which means you have less of an immune response. Why would we want to decrease inflammation? Isn’t it good to have an immune response?
Yes, it is! But sometimes your body goes a little overboard and creates a little bit too much inflammation. Further, patients with celiac disease often have more inflammation in their intestines in general, and so eating anti-inflammatory foods can help to combat that.
