    If I have an autoimmune disease, are sweet potatoes still better for me?

    • Health Hub Team

      There are more than 80 different autoimmune conditions. If your condition affects your digestive tract, then the additional fiber in sweet potatoes may be difficult to digest. For questions about individual dietary recommendations, it is best to speak with a registered dietitian familiar with your health history.
