018 - Intestinal Autoimmunity - Leaky Gut, Celiac, IBD, Crohn's, Colitis
Manage episode 297164178 series 2911893
If you are following this podcast, you likely know that gut health is important for all autoimmune diseases, not just intestinal autoimmunity!
In this episode I talk about 4 different autoimmune gut conditions, 3 of which are diagnosed autoimmune "diseases":
- Leaky Gut
- Celiac Disease
- Crohn's Disease
- Ulcerative Colitis
I start by explaining the underlying mechanisms of leaky gut and intestinal permeability. I then expand into Celiac Disease and how gluten triggers "leaky gut" along with intestinal inflammation, which destroys the "villi" - the tiny little hairs on gut cells that absorb our vitamins and nutrients and leads to malabsorption and the possibility of other autoimmune processes.
I then discuss two major inflammatory bowel diseases Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, their differences, symptoms, diagnoses, and more!
