The number of patients with autoimmune disorders have been rising sharply in recent decades. Most diseases are still incurable and many of the factors that contribute to their development cannot be influenced and many of them are still unknown. Food is one of the components that has been shown to make a significant contribution to the onset and further development of the disease. Disrupted homeostasis and chronic inflammation of the gut, along with genetic and epigenetic factors and poor diet, can lead to the development of various autoimmune disorders. Thus, vitamin D deficiency can lead to the development of multiple sclerosis, too much salt can contribute to the development of rheumatoid arthritis, milk products with high β-casein content may cause type 1 diabetes, and gluten can trigger celiac disease. Many studies have also shown that mycotoxins can further weaken the immune system and thus contribute to the development of autoimmune conditions.
