Autoimmune Thyroid Disease, AIP and the Gut Microbiome
Autoimmune Thyroid Disease is the most common cause of thyroid dysfunction in Australia, affecting around 10-15% of the population. The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is used to identify dietary triggers, reduce inflammation, and improve thyroid symptoms.
Is IBD Autoimmune or Driven by the Gut Microbiome?
The gut microbiome is one of the most studied areas in IBD research. People with IBD tend to have lower diversity, fewer butyrate producers and more inflammatory species.
Diagnosing Autoimmune Disease
Not all Autoimmune Diseases cause symptoms immediately. It is possible to live with an AID for many years before symptoms become apparent or before an incident occurs that leads to an AID diagnosis.
