COMMON AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE SYMPTOMS
Autoimmune disease symptoms don’t always announce their arrival loudly. Many people slowly develop autoimmune conditions like leaky gut syndrome without even realizing anything is wrong. And the road to a diagnosis can be long and frustrating.
In fact, it can take about five years to receive an official autoimmune diagnosis. The average person goes to six t o 10 d o c t o rs before autoimmunity is recognized as the culprit, largely because the symptoms of these diseases are so disparate and vague. So how can you know if you’re suffering autoimmune disease symptoms? Let’s take a look.
Common Autoimmune Disease Symptoms
Some of the most common autoimmune disease symptoms you should look out for include:
Headaches Anxiety Brain fog Attention deficit problems Body rashes, red bumps on facial skin and red flaking skin Acne Rosacea Eczema Psoriasis Dermatitis Allergies Asthma Dry mouth Frequent colds Thyroid issues that could point to Hashimoto’s disease (underactive thyroid) or Grave’s disease (overactive thyroid)
Fatigue or hyperactivity Weight gain or loss General feeling of malaise Anxiety Muscle pain and weakness Stiffness and pain (could suggest rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia symptoms)
Feeling “wired and tired” Exhaustion Digestive tract upset may indicate irritable bowel disease Stomach cramping Gas Bloated stomach Diarrhea Constipation
If you do have any of these symptoms, please don’t ignore them, hoping they’re nothing serious or that they’ll just go away on their own.
TAKEAWAYS
The symptoms of an autoimmune disease affect brain, skin, mouth, lungs, sinus, thyroid, joints, muscles, adrenals, and GI tract functions.
The average number of doctors a person visits before autoimmunity is suspected is six to 10.
It often takes up to five years for an official autoimmune diagnosis.
Almost one is six people in the U.S.—50 million overall—live with autoimmune disease symptoms.
You can tackle autoimmune disorders by addressing leaky gut, eating dirt, removing foods and factors that damage the gut, replacing them with healing foods, repairing with specific supplements, and rebalancing with probiotics.
