Autoimmune disease Quote by Sarah Ballantyne
““While a definitive causal link between diet and autoimmune disease in general has yet to be made, more and more autoimmune diseases (and many nonautoimmune diseases) are being linked to gluten sensitivity. While further research is required, some doctors and researchers are even beginning to believe that gluten sensitivity may be a factor in every autoimmune disease. Furthermore, increased intestinal permeability (also known as leaky gut, which we’ll talk about in more detail shortly) is present in every single autoimmune disease in which it has been tested: gluten increases intestinal permeability.””
About This Quote
Emerging evidence links gluten sensitivity to many autoimmune diseases, with leaky gut present in all tested cases, suggesting gluten may be a common factor.
In simple terms: Gluten may trigger widespread autoimmune issues via gut permeability.
Key Takeaway
