You might be surprised to learn that there's a very powerful anti-inflammatory food that can help improve gut inflammation, arthritis, and even autoimmune diseases.

The close relationship between arthritis and intestinal inflammation
Many types of arthritis and autoimmune diseases actually originate in the gut. Inflammation in the gut is often the root cause of inflammation in other parts of the body. Therefore, improving gut health is a crucial step.
These foods are most likely to cause inflammation.
The following foods should be avoided first:
- Gluten : Found in grains, it can irritate the intestines and cause inflammation. Many people with arthritis are unaware that the grains they eat are the culprit behind their inflammation .
- Alcohol, sugar, and junk food : especially ultra-processed foods, account for 83% of the calories in supermarkets and seriously damage the digestive system.
- Corn : Highly processed corn syrup containing high fructose; 96% of corn is genetically modified and may contain glyphosate (an antibiotic), which disrupts the gut microbiota.
- Soybeans : Most of them are genetically modified and contain lectins , which can irritate the intestines .
- Seed oils , such as rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and corn oil, are highly refined Omega-6 fatty acids, which are highly inflammatory.
- A1 type milk protein : It is recommended to switch to A2 type protein, such as goat milk or goat milk products (cheese, fermented cheese), but casein or lactose intolerance should still be noted.
- General and functional fibers , such as corn fiber and cassava fiber, may cause bloating and intestinal inflammation. Even plant proteins, legumes, and vegetables may irritate the colon; a short-term carnivore diet is recommended to improve this.
The most powerful anti - inflammatory food: glutamine
Glutamic acid is an amino acid that intestinal cells rely heavily on to maintain their health. It can:
- ATP energy production
- Nourishing the intestinal mucosa and the habitat of beneficial bacteria
- It supports tight gut connections and prevents leaky gut syndrome .
Leaky gut allows undigested large food molecules to penetrate the intestinal cell layer and enter the immune system, causing the body to recognize them as foreign substances and produce antibodies, leading to food allergies and chronic inflammation.
Which food contains the most glutamic acid?
The answer is: beef . Beef contains extremely high levels of glutamic acid, making it one of the most potent anti-inflammatory foods. Before switching to a ketogenic diet, I consumed large amounts of carbohydrates and grains, which led to bloating and arthritis. After switching to beef, my intestinal inflammation significantly improved, and the arthritis in my hands and spine disappeared.
Vegetarian Choice: Cabbage
If you are a vegetarian, the best source of glutamic acid is cabbage, especially red cabbage. Cabbage is not only rich in glutamic acid, but it is also suitable for treating gastrointestinal inflammation symptoms such as gastritis and ulcers. Fermented cabbage (sauerkraut) provides the dual benefits of probiotics and glutamic acid.
Other foods rich in glutamic acid
- Cheese and cheese made from goat's milk or sheep's milk
- egg
- fish
- Bone Broth
