Gut dysbiosis leads to immune dysregulation, and, from there, a vicious cycle is created.

Immune Dysregulation Attacks and
creates inflammation in response to normally harmless / innocuous things
Attacks body’s own cells (autoimmunity)

Immune Dysregulation Can’t turn itself off Can’t mount
sufficient immune response (underactive immune activity)
Leaves body vulnerable to other infections like Lyme Disease or PANDAS

Most people with a chronic illness/disorder (autism, ADHD, asthma, allergies, celiac, etc.) or chronic symptoms (eczema, allergies, reflux, etc.) have gut dysbiosis and/or immune dysregulation.

Yeast Overgrowth An overgrowth of the Candida albicans
yeast is the most common type of gut dysbiosis.
Candida albicans produces a toxic byproduct called acetylaldehyde.
Acetylaldehyde is also a byproduct of ethanol.

Gut Dysbiosis Can Lead to Leaky Gut Yeast mycelia and GMO foods can
perforate the lining of the gut. Waste products and toxins that should be
excreted are not. Gluten and casein proteins, when leaked
out, go to the brain and activate the same pathways as morphine.
