There are a handful of very good immune building supplements she can take. ... One good one is "Grape Seed Extract". .... Another one is; "Olive Leaf Extract" ..... Another is; "Astragalus". \nTaking a good quality Fish Oil can be helpful as well.\n... She could for instance take the Grape Seed Extract along with the Fish Oil. .. Or take the Olive Leaf Extract along with the fish oil.\n\nShe should also avoid eating sugar,.. as sugar creates acidic conditioins in the body that help to promote disease.

There are several foods that can be eaten that contain a very high nutritive value and provide ample protein. Spirulina, a cyanobacteria, is very good as are chlorella, barley grass, wheat grass, and other plant sources. Wheat Roast, which is marinated, cooked gluten is a very tasty substitute for the soy products, while the "supergreens" are used as supplements. Before using these herbs, algaes, and the likes...CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN!, and inquire about possible inter actions with medication, allergies, etc. Whole Foods market carries many alternative protein sources and their employees are extremely knowledgeable, and aim to help out as much as possible with your diet, but keep in mind that, while being knowledgeable, THY ARE NOT M.D.'s! If you have specific allergies or require a speecial diet because of a medical condition, I would advise you to seek the help of a ADA Registered Dietitian.

Orange juice is better, because it is packed with Vit C, D and Calcium and it has antioxidents that help boost the immune system!

I agree, L-Lysine. You can take internal L-Lysine capsules to boost your immune system too.

I am a type one diabetic and a celiac. I recommend celiac.com, the website has great recipes and a good message board! I suggest you join te board, the people are great and have always answered my questions. A great book is "Celiac Disease: The Hidden Epidemic" I dont remeber the author, but the book describes how the immune system works, describes in detail autoimmune reactions (like celiac and diabetes), it basiclly talks about how the body works and why your daughter can not have gluten. Heres some websites that make delicious pre-made donuts and pies...celiacspecialities.com, grandmaferdons.com, and glutenfreebreadbasket. \n\nGood luck with your daughter!
