8. Autoimmune Conditions
Some people suffer from autoimmune conditions. These are medical conditions in which their body’s own cells and tissues are attacked by their own immune system. It is not clear why they happen in most cases and they can be very uncomfortable – even dangerous in some cases.
One of the most common types of autoimmune conditions is rheumatoid arthritis. It is a condition where the patient’s joints are attacked, causing pain, swelling, and loss of mobility. Other examples of autoimmune conditions include multiple sclerosis and lupus. A leaky gut is thought to be behind these in some cases.
