What are some Amyloidosis-friendly foods?

Amyloidosis is a condition in which certain proteins in the body do not fold properly which leads to their accumulation in various organs. There are many types of amyloidosis, some affecting the entire body, some affecting a single organ and some in between. There is no specific food or diet known to fight amyloidosis. However, it is possible that if amyloidosis is due to chronic inflammation (as with a condition such as rheumatoid arthritis), an “anti-inflammatory diet” might be helpful; however, this is unproven. An anti-inflammatory diet, such as the Mediterranean Diet, is typically high in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans. Fish, poultry, and olive oil are favored over red meat and other sources of fat.
