Misty Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 This has been on my radar for a while, but this is BIG that mainstream is finally doing these studies. Mental Health Tied to Immune System Defect And what causes immune system "defects"? Autoimmune diseases (Celiac, PANDAS, etc.) And what causes autoimmune diseases? Poor gut health usually. This is why you hear so much about probiotics/yeast and going gluten free. When treated, the gut gets better, which calms the autoimmunity, which improves mental health. A healthy immune system starts with a healthy gut!! There are several studies that tie the immune system to a healthy gut. Just google "probiotic + immune system" and you'll get a lot of legit studies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaJo Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 So is it just probiotics or are there other things to do for a healthy gut too. I have trying to research this but there are so many bogus sites trying to sell you something that it is hard to tell what is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimchi an kefir are good examples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
