Last year I wrote the book, Solving the Autoimmune Puzzle, and one of the things that I talked about in solving the autoimmune puzzle is that we are each a unique puzzle.

I get patients in my practice who are frustrated with the limitations their autoimmune disease and leaky gut has placed on their dietary choices.
