Hello.
Anyone here eat a “vitiligo diet”
My daughter has vitiligo... it’s a hereditary gene, due to Hashimoto thyroiditis... which never skips a generation is women the specialists have told me. I haven’t been tested for hashi yet, due to lack of medical insurance... but I suspect it was the cause of my weight gain and lack of ambition... anywhooooo back to the question...
Who eats a diet for vitiligo?
I’m reading mixed things. One article says Vitamin C is bad... one says huge doses of vitamin C is great... 🤣🤷♀️🤦♀️ it’s a head ache trying to find accurate research.

I have a close friend who has vitiligo. As far I know, there is not a diet to fight against vitiligo. I am so sorry not be helpful.

With all the research and naturopathic doctors we go to... there is indeed a diet that improves it and helps it. But it is in combination of lowered stress and hormonal therapies.

My friend is in a hormonal therapy, but like her stresss level is too high it has not worked.
I hope you can find something useful soon.

I have severe Hashimotos and vitiligo, as well as reynard disease. All autoimmune. I foloow a low carb high protien diet with some fat allowed. It works for me. I lost 40 lbs all together and feel so much better.
Try to stay away from gluten, and processed foods. They are so bad for joints and well being. Good luck!

I’d love to hear more about your auto immune issues and what has helped or hasn’t. Can you think of an event that triggered yours?!
My daughter is only 10... but I think witnessing the death of her Daddy 5 years ago has triggered her symptoms earlier than most...
All of Mine were just brought on by his death I think... I started gaining weight a few years after... because before I was teeny and hiked all the time.but I have slowly gained weight and lost energy and self confidence and esteem...

I have been told that hashi doesn’t skip a generation, especially in women. ☹️ Have you
Ever heard this?!
My mom, aunts and sister all have it... my daughter and I have it but are undiagnosed... her blood results came back perfect recently, but I don’t trust that they tested correctly.
My daughter started getting “halos” (white rings around her moles) now getting white splotches on her body. It’s breaks my heart... but I also see the beauty behind the disease and know that she won’t let it affect her esteem of confidence!!!

I was diagnosed at 30. I got very sick. My hands and feet swelled. I gained 50 lbs, and slept 15 or more hrs a day. They tested my thyroid but in the 90s the testing was bad. Make sure they test tsh, t3, & t4. Also common to have B vitiam deficiencies.

No official Hashimotos in my family. I think there is but undiagnosed. Vitillgo came about 10 years later. Face n neck affected. I use coverup. Reynards is worse. I cannot tolerate cold and my fingers n toes turn white, purple, then black. Very painful!
I hope u and ur daughter get help u need! Check internet for articles on diet, there are things u shouldnt eat..kale, cauliflower in raw form..

Thanks. I’ve been researching on and off for a few weeks now. And I have found some articles that seem promising! I am hoping she will embrace her pigment changes and not feel self conscious. I know my sister is very self conscious about her face and neck.
