Recently diagnosed with Stills Disease, a rare autoimmune disease. Looking for low carb, low sodium recipes to reduce water retention.

I am also lactose and gluten intolerant and usually need to modify recipes I find online.

    I have ankloysing spondylitis (they thought I had Still's disease when the AS first hit). I use Whole30, Paleo, and AIP recipes. I find with a higher fat (think 50%), low carb, no added sugar, fresh food diet I feel a LOT better! I am in the processing to eliminating soda and sugars. I can't believe how much sugar in everything! It was in canned peas, frozen chicken breasts, etc. Since you are lactose and gluten intolerant it sounds like Whole30 and AIP recipes will be right up your alley.

    Agree with af_wife - try whole30 diet. I have an autoimmune disease, psoriasis, and have seen a geniuine decrease in symptoms as a result of maintaining this lifestyle. As a bonus, my recent blood work also showed decreased likelihood of diabetes and lower bad cholesterol, too!
