Dietary contraindications for interstitial lung disease

Interstitial lung diseases usually do not have many dietary contraindications and can be eaten like normal people. A very specific disease that needs to be brought to your attention is lymphangioleiomyomatosis. This disease is most often seen in women of childbearing age and presents with diffuse cystic changes in the lungs. Since this disease may be estrogen-related, it is only seen in women of childbearing age, and it is important to avoid foods that contain estrogen, such as soy products, which should be brought to the attention of patients with this disease.
