Clinical case, answers to mystery problems: Hashimoto's, Gluten, Brain Autoimmunity, Double Vision

Описание: In this case my patient presented to the office with double vision, hearing loss, difficulty balancing and a family history of posterior cortical degeneration.

After working with Hashimoto's disease for many years I know this can be a sign of neurological autoimmune disease that has expanded to the brain and that may be caused by an immune response to gluten.

We will utilize the environmentally induced model of autoimmunity to investigate triggers by looking for antibodies to commonly consumed food proteins, pathogens, and chemicals. We will also assess her barrier systems looking at the intestinal barrier, the blood-brain barrier plus we will investigate her gut and microbiome and look at her vitamin and mineral status, essential fatty acid status and work on every aspect of Lifestyle including optimization of sleep, exercise and stress mitigation strategies with the goal of dampening the autoimmunity and hopefully, if we're lucky, put it into remission.
