Common autoimmune digestive disorders include IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), leaky gut syndrome, Crohn’s diseases, and ulcerative colitis. There may be various causes of autoimmune digestive problems, such as dysbiosis, infections, lack of enzymes, impaired permeability of the intestinal wall, and gluten or lactose intolerance.
Therefore, the first step is to find the cause or causes. In addition, the symptoms of disturbances in the digestive system can also have an autoimmune onset. Thus, the best recommendation that a doctor can provide is to find the cause and only then start a treatment.
An autoimmune condition is when the body’s immune system mistakes its own healthy tissues for foreign ones and attacks them. The list of autoimmune disorders is extensive and is constantly being updated. Most patients with autoimmune disorders are treated by a range of doctors from general practitioners to rheumatologists, endocrinologists, and dermatologists since there is no such doctor as an autoimmunologist. Conventional medicine currently has no cure for autoimmune disorders and in most cases, the goal of treatment is to suppress (slow down) the patient’s immune system, cope with the symptoms and triggers, and improve quality of life. Numerous case studies show that there are effective methods aimed at restoring the functions of organs damaged by autoimmune disorders. They include stem cell therapy, therapy to improve the microbiome and enzymatic deficiency, peptide therapy, micro-immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy.
Treatments found on Google often suggest using various probiotics, spirulina, enzymes, etc. If a patient decides to take probiotics, he/she should know that for each condition, such as constipation or diarrhoea, different probiotics are needed. In addition, if probiotics are taken incorrectly, the patient may develop SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome), which is expressed in increased gas production, bloating or other health conditions that have to be treated along with the primary problem.
