Probiotics
Because probiotics [4] aid in tissue and intestinal healing, they may be able to reduce the symptoms of scleroderma. Leaky gut theory is emerging as a potential unifying factor for most autoimmune disorders. The immune system’s regulation to prevent excessive antibody production is largely dependent on the microbiome. Pro- and anti-inflammatory immune cells are balanced when there are beneficial bacteria in the stomach.
According to research, probiotics dramatically reduce bloating and reflux in scleroderma patients. After taking probiotics every day for two months, the participants saw noticeable improvements.
Taking probiotic supplements or eating probiotic foods is an effective way to restore the balance of bacteria in your gut. Some of the best probiotic foods [5] are yogurt, kefir, apple cider vinegar, kombucha, tempeh and vegetables.
