While I agree a LOT of these "cleansing" type diets and supplements are garbage science, inflammation is a real thing. Autoimmune diseases are, by definition, diseases of inflammation. There's no way to really "clear" it from your body, but if the inflammation is caused by a reaction to something you ate, then it would obviously help to stop eating that thing. Celiac disease is an example of a known inflammatory process caused by a food. Any supplements that claim to reduce inflammation are probably garbage. Not only are they not FDA approved, but there is little oversight to even show they contain the ingredients that are listed on the label. The only times they are pulled from the market is when the supplement is proven to be harmful.
It's not easy to tell if your inflammation is caused by a food or even another external source. Even the blood tests used to check for food allergies are extremely inaccurate with many false positives and false negatives. However, there are anti-inflammatory diets that eliminate some foods that are common causes of allergies and seem to help some people. If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, then it couldn't hurt to try and anti-inflammatory diet to see if that helps the symptoms. The truth is that most people do not want to change they way they eat. I was that way until my celiac diagnosis when I really had no choice.
