Early Spring Wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Have had hashimoto’s for a few years. Not that big a deal, pretty common. Take your meds, keep your levels in check, eat healthy, exercise, meditate to keep stress down. It ain’t going away, no matter what you eat, so relax, life is short. You’re too young to be complaining, I’m 40 and run 2 miles a day. I got full blown Hashimoto’s. Chill, you’re freaking yourself out. Best of luck on your journey.
Lugols iodine
Thanks for sharing!
6:17 diet does have everything to do with this ! N Iodine and detox your thyroid. Take. A teaspoon of Himalayan salt morning and night for a week to detox thyroid from chlorine, bromine, fluoride …. Otherwise if you take iodine you’ll feel like you have a flu and that helps. Boost your foods and eat three Brazil nuts and three walnuts everyday Get rid of gluten. It takes months for it to be gone and also look at healing your gut as well Look up liver as well as liver and thyroid work together. This is why lots of menopause women get non fatty liver disease
Thank you for sharing this advice!
Thank you for your video. I got the diagnosis of hypothyroidism two years ago in September, and just this past January got the Hashimoto's diagnosis. (My TSH was 78. My doctor thought I should probably be feeling so bad I'd be in the ICU. I felt fine. It was weird.) She gave me a Levo prescription then, but I wanted to figure out the answer on my own, so I continued my research. My history is that I cured my own leaky gut in 2008 with L-glutamine; in 2017 I went on keto and eliminated all grains and sugars and seed oils and lost a lot of weight; menopause for me hit somewhere after 2010, I think, and by 2014 my midsection was bigger than it had ever been before, so I wanted to lose that. Now that I've been on keto for so long, I had assumed that I would have been nice and trim at the waist, but no. Getting the Hashimoto's diagnosis answered some questions but raised others. Did my long-term keto diet cause this? I'm still not sure I have the answer to that. Recently I watched a Dr. Berg video (something like "the one nutrient that will cure depression" -- it's not obvious that this video is about yogurt) where he's interviewing a Dr. Davis, the author of Wheat Belly. If you've ever had leaky gut, it sounds like that would be a good book to read. I haven't read that yet. Dr. Davis' new area of interest is l. reuteri and making l. reuteri yogurt. This is fascinating. There are so many benefits to consuming l. reuteri yogurt, so I started researching l. reuteri plus Hashimoto's in the medical literature. It's a fairly new area of study. There is research showing that the reason the thyroid gland gets attacked and destroyed is because of what's going on in the gut. And to reduce inflammation, to stop the attacks, you have to heal the gut. So...is healing the gut going to improve my Hashimoto's condition? I found this as the "conclusion" paragraph in a 2020 paper on PubMed, the medical website; paper is titled *Thyroid-Gut-Axis: How Does the Microbiota Influence Thyroid Function?* _There is accumulating data that a strong thyroid-gut axis exists. It appears to display a not well known but important correlation regarding the effect of the gut bacteria on the immune system and thyroid function. Furthermore, there is higher prevalence of the coexistence of thyroid and gut related diseases, just as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis/Graves’ Disease and Celiac Disease/Non-celiac wheat sensitivity. Dysbiosis is a common finding in thyroid disorders. On the one hand, it alters the immune response by promoting inflammation and reducing immune tolerance, damaging the intestinal membrane and causing an increase in intestinal permeability, which again leads not only to a high exposure of antigens, but also local inflammation. On the other hand, it can directly impact thyroid hormone levels through its own deiodinase activity and the inhibition of TSH. Gut microbiota also influences the absorption of minerals that are important to the thyroid, including iodine, selenium, zinc, and iron. All of them are essential for thyroid function and there is a clear link between thyroid dysfunction and altered levels of these minerals. For example, iodine deficiency may lead to goiter, presumably thyroid nodules, and even follicular thyroid cancer. High iodine intake can either induce hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism in susceptible patients. Iron is essential for bacterial growth, iron availability influences the composition of the microbiota, and at the same time, the microbiota influences iron availability. Iron is vital for efficient iodine utilization and thyroid hormone synthesis and ID could cause thyroid disorders, including impaired thyroid hormone synthesis, storage, and secretion._ Anyway, so after listening to the Dr. Berg interview with Dr. Davis, and at the end of the video Dr. Berg shows how to make l. reuteri yogurt, I ordered the yogurt maker, the inulin (to feed the bacteria), the l. reuteri capsules, and just finished up my second batch of l. reuteri homemade yogurt. One of the benefits of l. reuteri yogurt is supposed to be weight loss; another one is strengthening bones; and being a 67-year-old female, this is interesting to me. I'm going to do this for at least a year. I realize that the first side effects (intestinal ick) will be the body's assimilation of the l. reuteri little guys in there, and it's going to take a bit of time for everybody to get happy. So far I can't say that I have lost weight or feel much different. One thing I will say, however, is that I got COVID for the first time this past July, and suddenly I started craving sugars and carbs, and gave into the craving. Once starting l. reuteri yogurt, that sugar craving is going away again. I'll test it out myself to see if healing the gut then heals the thyroid. It makes sense to me. I'm also taking my own basal body temperature every morning before getting out of bed. I've noticed (I started taking NP Thyroid and Thytrophin PMG in September) that my body temperature is slightly warmer than it was a year ago. That's another good sign that my metabolism is very gradually improving. I'm doing red light therapy on my throat in the mornings, whenever I have time/remember to do this. I bought a little red light band that has a timer I can set for 20 minutes for the lights (650nm/840nm, or something close to that) to wrap around my throat with velcro on each end, to shine on my throat directly. I barely feel it. I think that's helping too. And I'm considering getting a red light blanket (near infrared, I think?) to make me sweat every night, now that it's getting colder. And of course I'm taking all kinds of supplements (zinc, selenium, B vitamins, iodine every now and then, and Vitamin D/K2 -- at least 10,000 IU/day), and watch all kinds of doctors (Westin Childs, Anshul Gupta) about what their recommendations are. One thing I've noticed: I don't feel like I want to just come home and go to bed right away like I used to after work, like I literally have no energy left for anything -- I do feel more energetic now; and I'm not as frozen all the time like I used to be. Coffee is my downfall, I suppose; now I drink coffee only at least an hour after taking NP thyroid, which I do first thing in the morning. I'll be getting my next round of blood tests on Wednesday and see my doctor via Telehealth in a couple more weeks. We'll see how I'm doing. I did manage to bring my 78 TSH in January down to 43, then down to 16 most recently...so I'm not there yet, but I'm on the right track.
Thank you for sharing all of this with me! The info on gut health was particularly interesting as that's something I've been working on lately. It's also great you're figuring out what works best for you and I wish you the best in your healing journey!
Mine was triggered by the flu vaccine. I manage mine with diet and lifestyle. currently trying a ketogenic diet but it is hard
This disease is indeed challenging. Wishing you well!

Thank you for sharing!
Try carnivore to feel better...No wheat at all its garbage. No sugar. no tap water. Be careful with veggies...toxic some of them. Thanks so much for sharing...I'm doing almost 100 percent carnivore and it works for me....Check out Dr ken berrys wifes channel. God bless.
Functional doctor is what I am looking for I don’t have this but the opposite and stress free things and diet is mandatory
I hope you find the right doctor soon!
Your doctor lied there is tons of things you can do to reverse and help that.
Definitely!
Am always super hungry with this thyroid gland she don’t play fair always tired even if I had a full nights rest I always tell people that thyroid plays important factor in your body in I can agree it does make you feel like your going to die for me I don’t have a lot of energy the simplest things wears me out but am hoping I feel better soon and praying for you too 🦋
Thank you so much. I hope you feel better soon!
Welcome . and thank you🦋
dieting is so confusing! with nightshades, gluten, dairy, oxalates, etc. Im pretty sure I also have PCOS to boot. Im getting tested for antibodies soon..we'll see if its Hashi or not, but probably is. Anyway, thanks for sharing! drop your beauty routine! I need bodycare and hygiene product recs lol :)
There is so much conflicting diet info out there! I use the EWG Skindeep Database to research or find "clean" products. Some of my faves: Makeup: Ilia, Tower 28 Skincare: Mychelle, Native (fragrance-free versions) Perfume: Henry Rose Hair care: Avalon Organics Soap/lotion: Everyone
Have you tried carnivore
I have not! Have you by chance?
I appreciate your content. I can't find a lot of personal experiences so this has been nice
Thanks so much! :)
I got fired 5 months ago, they said I wasn't giving my 100%. I didn't understand anything. Last month I found out I have hypothyroidism, I'm on medication but I have constant headaches 😢
I'm sorry to hear this! Make sure to get your vitamin levels checked too. Wishing you the best.
@@madisonelizabeth51295thank you so much for your time, my vitamins are fine. Hope in time I will get the correct dosage of the medicine and get rid of headaches.
Same in my case dear, chronic stress was trigger. People usually don't understand this sneaky disease.
Chronic stress is so dangerous! People need to discuss this more.
I'm also plantbased but I react to soy proteins, except for the gluten free soy sauce. Soy sauce actually doesn't contain much soy proteins because of fermentation process. I'm gluten free and I don't have therapy.
Interesting! What is your primary protein source that's soy and gluten-free?
@madisonelizabeth51295 my primary protein sourced are cheakpeas, peas, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, almonds, sometimes white beans. I use almond milk or pea protein milk. Also rice has some proteins. I can't eat peanuts, lentils, and cashews, actually I can eat overnight soaked in water and then well boiled cashews only, raw cashews never. I had really bad reactions. I react to soy proteins really bad, but I'm also diary proteins intolerant. It's usually same reaction to soy for some individuals. I still don't have therapy, but I am not against therapy. Just my hormones levels are in normal range, but still there are mžno test to measure do those hormones actually do their job properly, go into cells. That could be an issue with most of us. Enough hormones in free circulation (that's what they test only) but bad hormone's sinthesis. Sorry I forgot to say I occasionally eat eggs too, I have never had issues with eggs. Sometimes high quality fish if I find it. I'm in Europe not easy to find good fresh fish in my continental state.
Similar experience… got diagnosed recently. I resigned from my job… my last day is this coming November 4th
Wishing you the best in your healing journey!
Know how you felt, diagnosed under active then my body switched to over active, found out I had leaky gut and that was causing immune system to attack thyroid. Once started probiotics and selenium my thyroid started to settle down and function properly. Doesn't work for everyone but helped me.
Gut health is so important!
Thyroid disorder had a goiter Thyroid left one remove 2013😮
I hope you are doing better now!
Thanks for the video. Have you found a doctor that you recommend that is focused on finding the root cause of your Hashimoto disease?
I have not personally worked with a functional doctor yet but hope to do so soon!
A gluten free diet you need to do for a year at least. Try carnivore with lots of fat
I'm planning on starting a longer-term, strict GF diet in the new year!
I couldn't relate more to you when you asked the doctor if there was any other option than the pills. My doctor said i had to be on the pills for the rest of my life to and when i asked if there is anything i can change diet wise she immediately disregarded the question and was no the pills are the only option. I took the pills for maybe 2.5 to 3 years and then just one day stopped I never felt a difference while being on them so why should i continue taking them was my logic. For me diet changes did help, it didnt completely heal me but put me in a better position than i was previously in. These doctors i swear just want to profit selling the perscriptions.
I'm sorry that was your experience but I hope you are feeling better now!
Brazil nuts are good for thyroid
Thank you!
Was it sub clinical?
I believe it may have been at the time!
Fooling you now… recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism but now be on set I believe after Covid vaccines. I’m being referred to endocrinologist but it’s a 4 month waiting list! I can’t swallow. My beck is so big. But the feeling of age and dying I can completely relate to
I'm so sorry you're going through this! :(
Lugols iodine actually treats it, look up dr brownstein
It can also raise your antibodies!!!!!
Thank you for the suggestion! Will do more research
Please look up dr Ken berry hashimotos
Thanks for the suggestion!
Doctors say you can feel great after some months, but in my experience it’s really a placebo. You keep thinking you feel great, but it’s not until years later that you finally start to feel normal, and even then you’ll still have days or weeks of pain and misery as if you’re a cancer patient or dying. I’ve learned that doctors are all completely clueless. Taking levo is just like exercise… you can lift weights for some weeks, but you won’t see results until it’s been a few years, and even then you’ll have to really push yourself to see serious results. (That being said, in my observation Hashimoto’s prevents muscle gain.) And diet goes the same way… you’ll have to spend years, and even then you can do everything ‘right’ and still consume foods with pesticides and chemicals that your body is extremely sensitive to…. even chemicals that convert testosterone to estrogen, etc…. we live in a world where “organic” is considered a premium and poisons and dangerous oils and excessive sugar are too widely accepted. I eat very healthy, but I still have days and weeks, even full months, of different pain and suffering. Some times I just want to die, and the vast majority of people don’t and can’t understand this…. it’s like being a cancer patient or miserable elderly person sometimes… after ooh I don’t know how long it’s been anymore… almost a decade or more, I can confirm Levo is *NOT ENOUGH* and the doctors won’t and can’t do anything to help unless you’re willing to go too far and destroy your brain with drugs that will destroy you. Sometimes they’ll offer things to help your failing organs, but of course it’s thyroid related so you’ll never know what to do besides spend too much money to still be miserable. I’m alcohol free, rarely have a homemade sugar desert, and I’ve tried gluten free and felt best when I was gluten free. I’ve learned that fatty meats keep me feeling the best, and avoiding high carbs helps too. In addition to GF, I tried being dairy free and even went grain free, but it seemed my body was craving grains because things only got worse. Added grains back to my diet and felt much better, slowly reintroduced gluten and I try to keep gluten to a minimum and haven’t had too many issues. I would still heavily consider abandoning at least most gluten, especially from processed items. I’ve also learned that coffee is very destructive. I never drank coffee before but slowly introduced it and it was awful! If you choose to drink coffee, never drink until 90 minutes after waking up properly, and flip-flip (meaning 90 minutes after waking you drink coffee for up to 90 minutes and then avoid coffee for 90 minutes, and keep repeating that pattern) at 90 minute intervals from there and avoid midway through your day. I highly recommend avoiding literally anything you can eat or buy outside of organic groceries: avoid all food stands, even restaurants (and yes, I’m including very high-end and expensive restaurants), and never eat items with bread nor sugar nor cheese unless you make it yourself and know the ingredients are correctly sourced and so on. You even need to be careful about where your meat comes from, as some places will feed their animals with poisoned grass or give them chlorinated water, etc. Basically, you want to abolish Big Brother’s reign of FDA approved garbage. Anything that has been sprayed (poisoned) or injected (poisoned) or modified (poisoned) etc, should not enter your body, and you’ll feel leagues better. Obviously I can’t do this 100% just yet as work is in the way, but I’m getting there and do my best and it’s helped a lot in the last 6 months. Remember that whatever enters you, affects your biome. Yes, we are meant to eat other things like dirt or the rare contaminant like a dog hair, it won’t hurt you, but we primarily consume foods that never should have been corporate/government-controlled to begin with.
Thank you for sharing your story and this advice!
@ As an update, I’ve begun to slightly reintroduce cheeses, and things are going well. I try my best to avoid common cheeses that are known to be frowned upon by people who truly care about their health. Cheese won’t be a regular part of my diet, but more of a blue-moon occasion.
Madison We are living the same life! Same work situations etc Praying for you . I am trying to focus on me for a change and it is slowly changing forthe better. My vitamin d was 4! May want to check yours out as well?
A 4?! You must of really felt like death! 😢
So actually when I had my vitamin levels checked after being diagnosed, I found out my vitamin D was at a 5!! It was the lowest my doctor had ever seen. I think this deficiency was causing more of the fatigue and weakness than the Hashimotos. I hope you find a better job soon!
Hashimotos made me very sick too. It took years before my endocrinologist said that the antibodies to the virus were no longer detectable in my blood.
What will that mean for you????
I hope you are doing better now!
thank you❤❤ I hope people know the seriousness of this disease.😤😥
Thank you for watching! Wishing you the best.
Thank you for sharing your story. My son is 19, he will be 20 in two weeks. At age 11 he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes which is also an autoimmune disease. It is very common for T1Da to develop a secondary autoimmune disease. This last summer he was diagnosed with Hashimotos. His numbers are OK. They are fluctuating between normal and just over the edge. He is experiencing fatigue and each morning he wakes up drenched in sweat and freezing cold. I mean chilled to his bones. When he asked his endo about a diet he too just brushed us offend said therewillnothing that will do. His endo is amazing. But when it comes to his hashimotos we were disappointed. Since his numbers are going back and forth on his blood work he is also not being put on any medication yet. So we are going to try the anti-inflammatory diet. I take medication for hypothyroidism myself. I was started on meds in Ocotber 2022. I hope this diet will help both of us. It can't hurt so why not try. I look forward to seeing g your other videos. Going to watch now.
Thank you for watching! I've heard that T1D and Hashimotos are very common together. I hope your son feels better soon and that the anti-inflammatory diet is helpful. Have you been checked for Hashimotos by chance? I just ask because it's the main cause of hypothyroidism. Wishing both you and your son the best!
No pop not even diet, less sugar but not elimate. Ive always had some form of activity and as soon as I got a sit down job. Drinking soda not eating right is when I went hypothyroidism. Exercise is important. Dont claim hashimotos,! exercise but not over do it. Cut out some stuff.
I'm glad you've found what works for you!
How do they tell the difference between hypothyroidism and hashi? I think doctors just assume . Mine did a regular thyroid test and then said well it's probably hashimotos. I don't call it hashimotos
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones. Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder that's the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Some people with hypothyroidism have Hashis but it's not "diagnosed" by their doctor. Hopefully that helps!
you could go beyond no gluten and try low carb. I cut caffine because it gives me anxiety.
Yes, I've heard low carb helps some people! I have to eat a lot of protein with caffeine due to my anxiety :(
Your story hits me right in the feels. Teenage- early adulthood I was discarded by doctor ”Everyone is tired” they said as I was always exhausted and tired no matter what. and have had to live with this depression and anixiety for 10 years. But this month my health really started to deteriorate. Mysterious headaches, pain in hips and knees and feet, especially when waking up in the morning my body HURTS as if I was an elderly, I am not even 30, dizziness, going on walks drains energy… nausea…. I get my blood drawn on health checkup and they cannot figure out what is wrong! Here have some pain medication and stomach medication . And then I started researching this autoimmune disease and daaaammn. I will try to get to the bottom of this! Thank you for sharing your experiences and getting information out there!
Thanks for sharing! Sadly, so many doctors are dismissive and I've experienced that myself. The best thing we can do is our own research and self-advocacy.
I felt like dying too especially when some doctors chose stop my medication after two months because of my exercise addiction and past with eating disorder. They did big mistake there. My TSH elevated even higher and so did cortisol. I ended up losing so much muscle for hypothyroid myopathy or just simply by high cortisol, that my daily life became painful and very hard. Now I have some pinced nerves because my weakned muscles couldn't keep up right posture anymore. This disease and mistakes in treatment have changed my whole life. I just wish it will get better some day. I've been remedicated 3-4 months now and fighting to get back to my life.
DHEA drops as cortisol rises and has to be balanced. Once I went in DHEA my cortisol dropped and fatigue lessened. Mine was at 80.
I'm so sorry to hear you've been through all this. Wishing you all the best in your healing journey!
Animal fat and cholesterol are vital to balance hormone levels. Plant oils are not recognized as fat by the body. I'm not being a troll, I've seen so many improve on a animal based keto or carnivore diet.
My afib is almost in complete remission after going keto. I take iodine and all the other vitamins that are good for your heart, nervous systems and thyroid. Thyroid problems run in my family, so I just added the iodine recently.
Thank you for sharing! From what I've heard, carnivore diets have helped many people w/ autoimmune diseases
May God bless you!❤
Thank you! :)
I believe you because I’ve felt like I’m dying for many years and now I’m getting older and adding aging pain. Not sure what it is but could be hashimato. Transferred to a new VA Clinic where I can get an in person visit instead of video calls and am hoping to get a more serious Doctor.
I hope you find the answers you're looking for soon!
@ TY. I have my diagnosis now and it’s Lyme disease and mold toxicity. I’m working with Judy Cho and feel good about some real improvement with the protocol she has for me.
I will say that I discovered that meat was the only thing that didn’t bother me in 2017/2018, so I decided to stick with it and felt so much better.. but getting my T3 mono-therapy (cytomel) dose down proved to be more difficult..I have to eat at a certain time everyday and intermittent fast to (I take multiple doses per day) get my dose to work. It has changed my life forever. I wish I went carnivore years ago-because I don’t think I would have ended up with hypothyroidism. Pregnancy definitely pushed my body over the edge :/
While challenging, it sounds like you've figured out what works best for your body. Hope you are doing better now!
100% you are spot on. I thought I was dying too, you explained it so well. It took everything away from me.. I could not wash my hair, I ended up having to shave it because it was so tangled. The only thing that helped was carnivore.
I'm so glad to hear you found something that worked for you!
I have just given up all hopes now, tired of everything, worried about everything.
Sometimes I feel the same way. Wishing you well!
Chronic autoimmune Hashimoto disease - 26 years now on medication- then I got covid 2019 - and my TSH been suppressed ever since- December 2023 hospitalised and diagnosed with another autoimmune 🦠- had 3 shots . I’m 64 🏴
So sorry to hear this! I hope you are doing better now!
Please look into carnivore diet!!! ❤
Thank you for the suggestion!
Have you considered carnivore diet?
This is what I’m trying with hypothyroidism. I have seen so much positive results on RUclips.
Carnivore was life changing for me and the right dose of medication.. turns out, I needed T3 mono-therapy, T4 does not work well for me.
I personally haven't considered it but I've heard some people have found it to be helpful!
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's last week. I haven't started any treatment because im still in the very very early stages, where my antibodies are through the roof but my T3 and T4 levels are still normal...for now. It sucks to be waiting on this ticking time bomb and its so disheartening to read up about all the symptoms I can expect any day now. So far I have experienced the dry hair and skin and my periods have become irregular. All of this is so scary, I just don't understand why this is happening to me at the age of 21. I guess I should be glad that we caught it early but it's very disheartening still. I've always thought I've taken pretty good care of myself...
Are your levels actually normal though? The conventional ranges are incorrect, so you may actually need thyroid hormone. I recommend a functional doctor, they look at the full picture.
@@Shayne_T yea my levels are entirely normal, but thank you for your suggestion, I'll definitely do that
I was diagnosed a month ago with Hashomoto's. Very depressed , overweight, overall just horrible at this stage - try now to get information about what to eat or not. Thank you for your help!
I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed but it's great you are doing research already! Like you, I was healthy before my diagnosis and it seemed like the symptoms came out of nowhere. Autoimmune diseases are (unfortunately) so common now so please don't feel like you did anything wrong. Wishing you the best!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! :)
Dr. Brooke Goldner has a great success with Hashimoto's, she explains why her method works. You have her free teachings, she is live on youtube every Wednesday, has books... However, what you won't like is that at first you eat fully raw until you get better, if you want fast recovery. And you need to supplement with iodine, vitamin D and B12. Iodine because of cruciferous vegetables you eat. All in all this is not normal. Too many people has it.
Thank you for sharing about Dr. Goldner - will look them up! Vitamin supplementation is so important. I feel my best on vitamin D and B12
What is the root cause of autoimmune disease? On a basic level, autoimmune disease occurs because the body's natural defenses - the immune system - attack the body's own healthy tissue. Researchers have several ideas about why this happens. When the body senses danger from a virus or infection, the immune system kicks into gear and attacks it. The gut microbiota, may be the cause of or contribute to the development of infectious illnesses and autoimmune disorders when this mutualistic connection is harmed by changes in bacterial activity and diversity, a condition known as dysbiosis. What causes dysbiosis in the gut microbiome? Dysbiosis: The main factors influencing the composition of the microbiota that may cause dysbiosis include medications, specifically antibiotics; dietary changes; as well as psychological and physical stress. Antibiotic use is the most common and significant cause of major alterations in the body's natural microbiota. How does gut dysbiosis affect the immune system? Immunological mechanisms of inflammatory diseases caused by ... Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota can influence the physiological functions of the body through a variety of immune mechanisms leading to the development of inflammatory diseases. These mechanisms include metabolic dysfunction, intestinal barrier damage, and immune system disorders. What disease is caused by gut microbiome? Frontiers | Human gut microbiota in health and disease ... The dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is therefore linked to various human diseases, such as anxiety, depression, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. What is the link between gut microbiota and autoimmunity? The gut microbiota that resides in the gastrointestinal tract provides essential health benefits to its host, particularly by regulating immune homeostasis. Moreover, it has recently become obvious that alterations of these gut microbial communities can cause immune dysregulation, leading to autoimmune disorders. What autoimmune disease is related to gut health? Celiac Disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It causes damage to the lining of the small intestine, leading to malabsorption of nutrients and a range of symptoms, including diarrhea, bloating, weight loss, and fatigue. What is the best probiotic for autoimmune disease? Studies have shown that the initiator of immune responses may be Lactobacillus strains, while Bifidobacterium strains induce anti-inflammatory and Treg cells. It can be inferred that bifidobacteria may be an important probiotic to prevent autoimmune diseases and inflammatory immune disorders. How can I improve my gut health with autoimmune disease?
