1. Gluten
Anything containing gluten should be the first food patients with neuropathy should avoid.
Celiac disease affects the small intestine and interfere with your body’s ability to absorb essential nutrients, which in turn can deprive your nerves of crucial things like vitamin b12.
Although only 1% of the population may be diagnosed with celiac disease, many individuals tend to have gluten sensitivity and allergies.
Gluten can be found in bread, pasta, noodles, cakes, and pastries.
It’s important to check product labels and look for gluten-free products because gluten can also be found in unexpected foods, such as regular soy sauce.
Despite its name, soy sauce is usually made with wheat, soybeans, salt and water, which means most soy sauces contain gluten. The good news is that some soy sauces are truly gluten-free.
