However while gut bacteria may and likely is related to autoimmune disorders such as those which involve diabetes, I do not feel they contribute much to our BFS infections. The soul reason being that our symptoms indicate something has crossed the blood-brain barrier, and I don't believe any gut bacteria would be able to do so.

Keep in mind it has been proven that the gut is the "other brain". Performing many of the same functions as our actual brain. Its no coincidence they're both similar in shape and appearance, and in white matter tissue either. Not to mention myself and many others here have a direct increase in symptoms when our Gut is affected. I know for a fact that I do. When i wake up in the morning I get that morning anxiety and the spasms kick in immediately as that begins. I can feel the butterflies and from that point forward, its on. Many people here report food directly affects their symptoms, and I have done numerous tests with my own body confirming this. So I do believe our Gut is directly involved, if not the only thing involved. If our brain was affected, our MRI's shouldn't be looking 100% pristine. Where do you think stress is experienced most? The gut. Where do you physically feel it? The gut. Instant chemical changes there cause everything from gas, to bfs symptoms.

They suggest the majority of autoimmunity has to do with the gut flora. They say that we need to begin eating fermented foods again like our anscestors did. The interview is long but worth listening to. So, all I have to say is pass the sauerkraut! http://articles.mercola.com/sites/artic ... -gaps.aspx
