I just happened on to a program called the Stem Cell Show and they had a functional MD aka integrative MD I'd say on the show. The functional MD said the common denominator for autoimmune conditions is Leaky Gut. I've heard this term for many moons but have kinda ignored it. I've been told I had Hashi years ago and I think it's under control now.

The functional MD said to start on your own to eliminate as best as one can gluten, dairy and sugars.

I'm sure most of you all here know this, but I thought I'd mention it. I've eliminated all bread and pasta in my life. Gluten as best I can. And sugars a lot.

There are supps to help with this Leaky Gut Syndrome...I forget what she said....I was trying to absorb so much in my memory bank.
