Autoimmune Conditions are On the Rise — Do Food Sensitivities Play a Role? The Role of Gluten & Dairy in Autoimmunity and How to Address Food Sensitivities Starting with Gut Health

And that's ultra-processed, tons of gluten, tons of dairy, typically coming from food sources that are mono-agriculture, high pesticide exposure, very improper breeding tactics for the cattle that's used, for the dairy that's used in those products. the cheapest way to grow anything that you're gonna be consuming.

Fastest and cheapest, right? And probably chemically engineered to taste the best and be most addicting. You pair that with somebody who has dysbiosis and those Treg cells that are developing inside of my gut at that time are just gonna be bombarded over the head over and over and over and over again until they're essentially gonna say, okay, whatever we're doing isn't working here.

We're under continuous threat. We're going to recruit everybody here and we're going to start fighting. And unfortunately, though, that comes from good intent from the immune system, that inflammatory signaling propels the leaky gut and propels the food immune reactions to another level. And that's where you can start getting dedicated antibody formation to foods.

And, you know, like the inflammation just ticks up a notch. And people can have lifelong issues from that. For me, I had IBS and chronic sinus infections for a very long time. I was very fortunate that when I was in medical school in 2005, my dad was in the process of developing some of the first clinical applications of testing for these things, essentially the first food sensitivity testing.

He had actually dabbled with it in the late 1980s and was bringing it back in the 2000s. And he ran his earliest versions of gluten sensitivity and dairy sensitivity panels on me. I came back positive.

Yeah, I'd say he's the godfather of bringing leaky gut and food sensitivity testing to the modern world. And at the same time, also just continuing to push the now known idea that the environment impacts the immune system, that it's responsible for this spike in autoimmune disease.

Yeah, I think it's important to recognize that for whatever many people that I've seen in my clinic or have been seen in clinics successfully here in the US, there's probably an exponential larger number out there who have done their own version of healing just by taking the information and implementing it, which is part of the power, I think, of this movement is that it really provides people a pathway to make yourself feel better.

And that's just growing and growing and growing in popularity. The basics of it are remove and then repair. So what does remove mean? Remove means at least temporarily take things off of the table that are perpetuating this chronic inflammatory problem. If you wanna think about it simplistically, what's driving the leaky gut? Just you could say, I probably have it.
