The Sjögren's, Fibromyalgia and IBS Connection

Four years ago, I wrote a blog post about the connection between Sjogren's and Gut Health. My intention was to start a conversation on this topic.

I have been considering whether to update it with new information or create a new blog post altogether because of the following developments:

• Sjogren's Syndrome is now referred to as Sjogren's Disease, which is a complex systemic autoimmune disease. Up to 20-40% of patients may present with small fibre neuropathy or dysautonomia.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome is no longer considered just a functional gut disorder. It's now recognized as a gut-brain axis disorder with specific symptoms and management.
• ​Fibromyalgia might be associated with autoimmunity and neuroinflammation. While I work on my new blog post, I invite you to watch the recording of my webinar on the Low FODMAP diet for Sjogren's.

New 5-Day Kitchen Cleanout Challenge

If you are looking to improve your health by making better food choices, your kitchen can be the cornerstone for achieving those goals. A supportive environment can significantly enhance your ability to stick to your new habits and achieve better results.

We have created a simple and easy-to-follow guide to assist you in clearing, organizing, and restocking your kitchen to support your home, health, and anti-inflammatory lifestyle.

The Challenge is completely free and kicks off on April 20, 2024

New Recipe Release from the Arthritis Society of Canada

I created this recipe inspired by a traditional Zobo beverage, also called ‘Sobolo’ in various African countries.
