How Leaky Gut Leads to Autoimmunity
"Once your gut is leaky and toxins, viruses, bacteria and food particles are flooding your bloodstream, your immune system marks them as dangerous invaders. As more and more particles escape into your bloodstream, your immune system attacks the invaders with white blood cells, and sends out wave after wave of inflammation. Eventually, it becomes overstressed and begins firing less accurately. This leads to autoimmunity and other health problems as your tissues end up in the crosshairs of the battle.

On top of this, you have an adaptive immune system that starts identifying the foreign substances as invaders, and makes antibodies to fight against these substances in your bloodstream. However, many of these foreign invaders look very similar to your own body’s cells, and your immune system can get confused and accidentally attack your own tissues. This process of mistaken identity is called molecular mimicry. Gluten and dairy are common culprits behind molecular mimicry, particularly autoimmune thyroid conditions (Hashimoto’s and Graves’)."

Once you have any type of autoimmune disease, leaving your leaky gut untreated can cause your condition to progress and places you at higher risk of developing another autoimmune disease.
