Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

[emulatorloo]

6. Yes I have diabetes and am in remission from auto-immune hepatitis, ulcerative colitis, and

Polymyalgia Rheumatica (which is called an "inflammatory disorder" but may not be classified as auto-immune.



So the theory about autoimmune disorders is that they are linked to "increased intestinal permeability"

Essentially thought is

- first, you have to have a genetic predisposition to autoimmune disorders

- the lining of your "gut" gets damaged by certain foods so that it becomes permeable

- stuff leaks thru the wall of your gut and your immune system goes kinda nuts attacking that stuff. Hence the fatigue etc

- you can heal the leaky gut over a period of time through cutting foods out of your diet

I have a paper notebook with tons of notes and links, of course I can't find it.

Still digging! I will find it!
