Intestinal infections can develop into autoimmune disease: E.coli can turn into Celiac disease and Sutterella can turn into Autism when a secondary virus causes cross-targeting.
I wonder if other infections like the mycobacteria associated with crohn's or he C. diff developing into ulcerative colitis...have the potential to become autoimmune disease. I think these are considered inflammation states. (like psoriasis and eczema of the skin) I will be researching for overlapping autoimmune disorders.

C.diff appearing in low risk populations outside the hospital

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.
I wish I could tell if c.sordellii is one of the few that can use Casein.

Daisy/chamomile allergy
The natural treatment of ulcerative colitis is chamomile and people I know with ulcerative colitis have Daisy/mum/chamomile allergies. I wonder what is going on. There are more thoughts on the earlier ulcerative colitis page

Hi Angela,
ReplyDeleteI sent you an email earlier. I'd love to hear more about your hypothesis esp. with regard to alopecia areata. It definitely fits with what happened to my daughter. That said, will eliminating the virus help in recovery? There's no evidence of recent strep in my daughter although her ASO titer is over the normal limits.

Doesn't ASO mean she had strep in the past? For how long has that been high?
ReplyDeleteShe had strep at 5yo, was very sick for a few days, got abx and did not have strep again. We don't know how long her ASO titer has been high - however, every test since a year ago, has been over 400.
