Endometriosis and autoimmune disease

Endometriosis overlaps fibromylagia and chronic fatigue 
http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/17/10/2715.full

Looking at Xanthomonas which infects the nightshade family : potatoes, tomatoes, and bell peppers

 OLDER POST
Fibromyalgia tends to be nightshade sensitvie or triggered.  I have no evidence to substantiate this notion but I hope people look and make sure this is not what is happening.

Xanthomonas is a bacteria that infects nightshade plants.  They use butyrolactones as signalling molecules between them.

In our bodies butyrolactones is converted to GHB which is then converted to GABA.  GABA is the neurotransmitter. How our nerves talk to each other.

A form of Xanthomonas has been found to infect the respiratory tract of people and is considered a new bacterial genus: named Stenotrophomonas. 

My notion is actualLy a question: does the Stentrophomonas still make these signalling molecules when exposed to nightshades like a bell pepper when it infects us? Could this explain the painful reactions to nightshades that Fibromyalgia patients have? Are antibodies directed at the butyrolactones causing antibodies to GABA thus causing one's own immune system to attack our nerves?

Strenotrophomona has become common in the lungs
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24696136

Strenotrophomona is more common in the bloodstream
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20472404
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11095997

Does it infect the uterus? Does cystic fibrosis overlap endometriosis because of this infection?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24690894 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20472404

since cystic fibrosis is connected to strenotrophomona what about uterine fibroids? is there an overlap of endometriosis and fibroids?

Beyond and maybe not relevant 
 
soybeans can be contaminated with atropa belladonna berries (purple stains) which is of nightshade family what makes soybeans an allergy food? the nightshade contamination or the estrogen part of soy making a fungus into a mold?

xanthan gum
the artifical sugar is derived from this Xanthomonas  bacteria (strentrophoona is called that when a parasite on plants)
http://www.foodsmatter.com/allergy_intolerance/miscellaneous/articles/xanthan-gum-05-12.html
often this Xanthan is used in place of gluten in recipes

Autoimmune type one diabetes and cross-targeting infections

Type one diabetes and the infections of the pancreas. What are the cross-targeting culprits? Does one infection cross-targeted with a virus in the pancreas triggering the autoimmune disease? Like Candida then the flu?

Eisenbarth's Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 1 (APS-I)

Candida
http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/centers/BarbaraDavis/Documents/book-Type1DiabetesHTML/type1_ch8.html

Candida infects the pancreas
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7944045


Eisenbarth's APS-2 could be bacterial infections  of the pancreas

E.coli infects the pancreas directly
http://gut.bmj.com/content/35/9/1306.full.pdf

Mycoplasmas from Lupus/rheumatoid arthritis infects the pancreas directly
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1412106/

mycobacterias, t.gondii, and Pneumocystis jiroveci (jirveci probably acts like the candida group)
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/779623

parkinson's matches up with mycobacterias which has a rare incidence with diabetes

But the autoimmunity does not develop until cross-targeting occurs with a virus
Now for the Viruses:
The flu virus replicates in the pancreas and so does the coxsackie virus.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia and cross-targeting autoimmunity?

Hypothesis: Cross-targeting autoimmunity occurs when 2 infections, one being a virus, infect the same target and cause the immune system to escalate the immune attack into autoimmunity because both the inside and the outside of the organ/self is marked as infected.

Epstein-barr infects the liver just like hepatitis does and mildly effects the liver's ability to function.

Note that the west nile virus infects the spleen
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24827763

The liver removes toxins but the spleen breaks down the red blood cells
Autoimmunity could also occur here.
