Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi all, Most doctors say that food won't influence on the symptoms - off course they are wrong. We know it does. But why that happens? Would it be because we become allergic to them? Would it be because those foods that increase symptoms have what is needed for the germ to proliferate? Most mycoplasmas (hominis is one of them) do their metabolism using the aminoacid arginina and sources for it are nuts, wheat, dairy... Or would it be because those food have something that is pro-inflammatory? I would love to read some comments about it. -- Renato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I think its because bacteria damage all organs including the gut, those with infections seem to fair badly with diet if they know its connected or not (more often not).

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 *This appeared in Scientific American in August, 2009. * ** *AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES TRIGGERED BY LEAKY GUT SYNDROME * ** Chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of most autoimmune disorders. But for many who suffer from autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia, the big question is “*What triggers the inflammatory reaction in the body*?” “A growing body of evidence suggests that virtually the same trio of factors underpins most, and perhaps all, autoimmune diseases: an environmental substance that is presented to the body, a genetically based tendency of the immune system to overreact to the substance, and an unusually permeable gut,” said Dr. Alessio Fasano, a leading researcher at the University of land School of Medicine (1). Intestinal permeability or leaky gut syndrome are terms used to describe an inability of the stomach lining to absorb protein molecules. Instead of being absorbed and digested, these protein molecules circulate throughout the blood stream. Here, they stimulate the immune system, and, in turn, immune system cells react to their presence as they would to any foreign protein by initiating an inflammatory reaction that leads to autoantibody production and autoimmune disease development. Evidence for this theory includes the presence of gastrointestinal tissue damage seen in patients with a number of different autoimmune diseases including irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, thyroiditis, and dermatitis herpetiformis. In many of these conditions, a reduction of digestive inflammation correlates with a reduction or remission of autoimmune symptoms. (2) There are many foods that trigger digestive inflammation. Among the most common foods are wheat, milk, and beef. In order to discover exactly what foods are the culprits, the best approach is an elimination diet of these foods. For more information about neutralizing inflammation in the body read *The Gluten-Free Good Health Cookbook, *available at* http://www.amazon.com/Gluten-Free-Good-Health-Cookbook-Inflammation/dp/157284105\ 2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & s=books & qid=1252425508 & sr=1-1 * Recent research has showed that the risk of rheumatoid arthritis is inversely associated with consumption of omega-3 fatty acids (3) and some trials have produced benefits when patients eliminate cereal grains altogether and emphasize proteins rich in polyunsaturated fat, such as fish, nuts and soy. These low-carbohydrate diets may help because they suppress growth of harmful or immune-active intestinal bacteria (4).
