With new laboratory testing I had found many people with autoimmune diseases showing signs of inappropriate bowel flora (such as an overgrowth of bacteria, fungal forms or parasites). This may correspond with the theory that leaky gut causes autoimmune disease. Leaky gut is characterized by cells that line the intestinal tract leaking contents that belong in the intestinal tract into the blood stream. The things that leak into the blood cause immune reactions.
This leaking also may land in any organ system and cause a problem, such as the joints, kidneys, liver, food reactions and the like. There are many tests for bowel flora that can be performed to identify the particular bacteria form that may be the offender. This is a very positive step towards healing some devastating autoimmune diseases.

Common autoimmune diseases that may be caused from leaky gut are lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
