This 11-minute educational video explores the unique dietary considerations for scleroderma patients, emphasizing that unlike most autoimmune conditions, scleroderma requires more than just anti-inflammatory approaches. Learn why fibrosis, acid reflux, and gut health issues demand specific nutritional strategies. Discover which foods to include and avoid, how to manage esophageal discomfort, proper protein intake to prevent muscle loss, and whether specialized diets like Mediterranean or low FODMAP can help. Dr. Elizabeth Ortiz, a board-certified rheumatologist with over 15 years of experience, provides practical dietary solutions specifically tailored to address the complex challenges of scleroderma. The video covers anti-inflammatory approaches for scleroderma, eating strategies for esophageal issues, and recommendations for improving lower gut health.
