Guillen Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare but serious disorder that manifests itself with sudden onset of muscle weakness and weakness. In these conditions, muscles lose their natural ability to tighten or contract due to damage to sensory and motor nerves. Although there is still no definitive treatment for Guillain-Barre, doctors try to control symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life with drug therapy, continuous care and lifestyle modification. Along with these methods, proper diet can also play an important role in the healing process and help reduce the severity of symptoms. So by continuing this article from your doctor, stay with us to get to know the best Guillen Barre disease diet.

Does diet have an effect on the improvement of Gillen Barre?

Yes, although the Guillain-Barré disease diet alone is not a reliable treatment, but the consumption of certain foods can improve the symptoms of Guillain-Barré to some extent and accelerate the recovery process of these patients. Consuming nutritious foods, sufficient protein and vitamins helps to repair the nerves and strengthen the immune system.

At the same time, avoiding fatty and salty foods can reduce the pressure on the heart and blood circulation. Proper nutrition, along with medical treatment and physical therapy, accelerates the healing process and reduces long-term complications.

Useful foods in the Guillain-Barré diet

Some foods can help reduce the symptoms of patients with Guillain Barre syndrome and improve their quality of life. For this reason, doctors and nutritionists usually suggest that patients include the following in their diet:

1. High-quality proteins to maintain muscle

Guillen Barre patients need a lot of protein to repair and maintain their muscles and increase their physical strength. Protein can be found in the following sources:

• Low-fat meats such as chicken and turkey
• Fish like salmon and tuna
• Egg
• Types of beans
Nuts (nuts)
• Seeds
• Soy products

2. Anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables

Since inflammation is one of the common symptoms of Guillain-Barre, including anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables in the diet can prevent damage from inflammatory reactions in these patients. Some of these fruits and vegetables include:

• Brussels sprouts
• Broccoli
• kale
• Onion
• beet
• Garlic
• Capsicum pepper (especially colored)
• Berries such as strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
• Pineapple
• Avocado
• Citrus types
• Pomegranate

3. Healthy fats for nerves

One of the most important parts of the Guillain-Barre disease diet is the consumption of healthy fats, especially Omega 3. Omega-3 can prevent muscle breakdown that may occur in these patients. There is no definitive evidence for the treatment of gylenbare, but this substance is able to help regenerate nerves, reduce inflammation and improve the remyelination process. Sources rich in omega 3 include the following:

• Fish (especially cold water fish such as tuna, salmon, mackerel, herring and sardine)
• vegetable oils
• Seeds such as chia seeds, flax seeds

4. Key vitamins and minerals

Vitamins and minerals play an essential role in the health of the nerves and the healing process of patients with Guillain Barre. Meanwhile, group B vitamins such as B1, B6 and vitamin B12 are the most effective because they protect nerves. These vitamins are found in abundance in foods such as whole grains, bananas and avocados.

In addition to vitamins, the consumption of essential minerals is also very important in the diet of these patients. Foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and seafood can help nerves function better and reduce inflammation in the body. These compounds give the body more energy and power to deal with the symptoms of the disease.

5. The role of liquids in the Guillain-Barre diet

Staying hydrated is a key factor in the recovery process of Guillain-Barré disease, as dehydration can worsen symptoms. Therefore, it is better to consume the following drinks during this period:

• Water is the best option to stay hydrated.
• Herbal teas such as ginger, mint or chamomile can have a calming and soothing effect.
• Nutritious smoothies such as those made with fruits, vegetables and protein ingredients (such as Greek yogurt) are also rich in nutrients for these patients.
• Electrolyte drinks are also an ideal option because they help replace lost electrolytes and minerals in times of dehydration or severe weakness.

Foods that are better to limit per gallon bar

Since Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, certain foods can exacerbate the body's immune or inflammatory response. For this reason, it is better to avoid the following foods during recovery:

• Processed and packaged foods because they contain high amounts of salt, preservatives and unhealthy fats.
• Excessive consumption of dairy products or red meat because they may aggravate inflammation in some people.
• Fried or fatty foods because they are harder to digest and may cause fatigue, heaviness or bloating.
• Alcohol and caffeine because they can disrupt sleep, body hydration and nerve function.
• Sugar and white flour because they raise blood sugar and increase inflammation.

Guillen Barre diet in different stages of the disease

The body may have different nutritional needs in each of the stages of Guillain-Barré disease. Therefore, depending on the stage of your illness, consider the following recommendations and nutritional tips to get closer to recovery:

Diet in the acute stage of the disease	Diet in the recovery period
Focus on reducing pain, fatigue and muscle weakness	Focus on maintaining and strengthening motor power
Consumption of antioxidants to reduce stress Oxidative	Increasing consumption of vegetable and animal proteins
Getting vitamin B12 for nerve health	Getting vitamin D and calcium to strengthen muscles and bones
Using anti-inflammatory spices such as turmeric, ginger and garlic	Taking probiotics and prebiotics for gut health and Safety
Consumption of protein from legumes and low-fat animal sources to repair muscles	Consumption of hydrating fluids to prevent dehydration and improve blood circulation
Focus on muscle regeneration and support the nervous system	Increase fiber consumption to prevent constipation from reduced activity

1. Diet in the acute stage of the disease

In the acute stages of Guillain-Barre disease, the doctor's goal is to control symptoms such as pain, fatigue and muscle weakness. For this reason, he may prescribe a special diet to support your body, which includes the following:

• Antioxidants help reduce oxidative stress in the body. Including berries, green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds and flax seeds) and colorful vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots and tomatoes) can increase the body's antioxidant levels.
• Vitamin B12 is vital for nerve health and is found in foods such as eggs, dairy products, and seafood.
• Spices such as turmeric, ginger, and garlic are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, and adding them to foods can be beneficial.
• Legals (such as lentils and peas) and low-fat animal sources (such as chicken, turkey, and low-fat parts of beef) also help repair and rebuild muscles due to their high protein content.

2. Diet during the recovery period

During the recovery period of Guillain-barre disease, the symptoms become less severe and the focus is on maintaining motor strength. Therefore, consider these things:

• Increase the consumption of proteins of plant and animal origin.
• Vitamin D and calcium help strengthen muscles and bone health.
• Probiotics (such as yogurt and buttermilk) and prebiotics (such as bananas and garlic) improve gut health and the immune system.
