Is IBS an Autoimmune Disease?

Health

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has long been considered a disease of exclusion, a label haphazardly given to patients suffering from abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation but no visible signs of intestinal damage or disease. Fortunately, new research is poised to shift this frustrating paradigm. The pioneering work of gastroenterologist and researcher Mark Pimentel, MD, indicates that IBS—at least in the case of some patients—may be an autoimmune disease triggered by food poisoning that damages the nerves of the small intestine. Read on to learn about our evolving understanding of IBS and how newly validated biomarkers and medications are paving the way for better diagnosis and treatment of this condition.   If IBS is an autoimmune disease, what does that mean for treatment?

This article originally appeared in Paleo Magazine. The Paleo diet is often mischaracterized as first and foremost a high-meat diet, and not just in the media but by some Paleo eaters who carefully build their meals around meat, seeking out only the leanest cuts. Meat is an important part of Paleo-style eating, yet the most common mistake made by those who go Paleo is eating too much meat—muscle meat, that is. By always choosing muscle meat, like a steak or a chicken breast, Paleo followers tend to ignore the other bits of the animal: Skin Cartilage Bone Bone marrow Organ meats Tendons Fattier meat cuts Animal fats, like lard and tallow If you’re not eating nose to tail, you could be missing out on important nutrients.
