Autoimmune Hypothesis: an infection like C. difficile first builds up antibodies then a virus cross-targets the same focus triggering the autoimmune disease.

c.diff and ulcerative colits

anti-lactoferrin antibodies in ulcerative colitis

Lactoferrin is an antimicrobial protein of our innate immune system. It is found in mucus. The intestine is considered a mucosal membrane. Perhaps the cross-targeting focus is the intestine.
Lactoferrin extremely high amounts and C. diff

Epstein-barr virus (mononucleosis) and Ulcerative colitis

this virus can infect the intestine
My hypothesis is : The c.diff does not alone cause the ulcerative colitis or the epstein-barr virus independently. The cross-targeting of the 2 together that sets off the immune system.
Other thoughts and questions:
The ulcerative colitis herbal remedy is said to be chamomile.
People with ulcerative colits might have daisy flower family allergies. Any one have evidence of this? further some latex is made from dandelions which could cause some people to develop a latex allergy.
Since ulcerative colits is said to be milk and egg sensitive I have been looking to see if the yellow diarrhea is connected to c.diff pigment similar to the staph pigment when plated on egg. anyone know the answer?
Even more interesting 8/30 thoughts from a newer post:
My thoughts....c.diff may not really be the culprit. C. sordellii which is closely related makes urease like H. Pylori. H. pylori we know causes ulcers.
Hopeful,
