The reason the gut is so important is that most foreign antigens come into contact with us in our gut, and our gut has a complex system of immune recognition and response to such foreign antigens to neutralize them and prevent them from entering our bodies. For the most part these foreign antigens do not cause strong immune responses and are not dangerous to our systems, so our immune system does not strongly respond, unless they happen to be antigens on pathogenic microorganisms that can cause disease in our bodies.
Of the types of foreign antigens that stimulate strong immune responses, antigens on infectious or pathogenic microorganisms are among the most immune-stimulating host responses. Over time we have evolved with the ability to recognize and respond to various pathogenic microorganisms, and in turn, these microorganisms have evolved as well with mechanisms to avoid host immune responses or to circumvent the responses if they are triggered. This cat and mouse game has been going on for a long, long time during evolution.

So true it's just so frustrating for me. I tried to go gluten free too but nothing happened for me even my digestion stayed the same.
Thank you so much for your repily
It's caused by antibodies like the other autoimmune diseases. And like the other autoimmune diseases they either cant, or dont feel like finding the cause for elevated antibodies.
Also big pharma makes more $ treating autoimmune diseases with drugs for life.
Of course their is the new holistic theory that all autoimmune diseases start in the gut, sometimes blaming gluten. Gluten Free apparently helps some people. I tried it for 4 months ans there was no difference in my Hashi symptoms, but my digestion felt better, just like when I dropped real dairy milk - but that was (is) forever..
