Diet for Myasthenia

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks chemical receptors in the body that help control voluntary muscle movements such as chewing, swallowing and talking. This muscle weakness can make everyday living difficult. Like other autoimmune disorders, it can go into remission for long periods of time. No official diet exists for this condition, but implementing certain dietary strategies will help. Consult with your doctor about your diet before making any drastic changes.
