Diet & immune system

Magnolia1

I have a v restricted (beige) diet, always have done. I take multi vitamins plus extra vitamin D. My sister keeps having a go at me. She says my diet is why I get colds all the time. I think it's because I am a primary school teacher & I am around more germs then most. Before Covid I had built up a good immune system but since then, not so much. This is the second cold I have had in 2 months. 

Tomorrow I have my self employed day & if I don't work I don't get paid. I cant afford to be ill and yet here I am ear ache, sore throat  sneezing away & feeling so v tired. (Again)

Can't really do much about my diet as there are only certain things I can cope with eating. Any other suggestions? How do I shut my sister up ?

  • I had my flu vaccine not long ago. My diet is bad as there’s not a single vegetable I can stomach, and to be honest I’m the one who always gets every flu in my household, and I’m always tired and struggle to sleep, so maybe there’s something in that. I have been thinking of starting some type of supplements, but I’m on medication and I worry too much about interactions. Luckily, I love all my legumes, so I eat lentils and beans quite a lot, and I like most fruit but I don’t seem to eat as much as I should. In my autism assessment, it said I should try a new food item either once a month or once a week; I cannot remember the exact wording on it, and it also said I should take supplements, so I probably should. Anyways, I’m waffling on now. I hope you feel better soon.
