Microbiome shift linked to Autoimmune conditions

I have extracted from studies the bacteria that have been associated with various autoimmune-related conditions as well as building pages to apply them to uBiome samples at: http://microbiomeprescription.azurewebsites.net .

  • Histamine Issues From Ubiome
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • ADHD
  • Autoimmune Disease
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Inflammatory Bowel Diseas
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Gout

  • Metabolic Syndrome
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Mood Disorders
  • Schizophrenia

Today, I created a “heat map” across all of these bacteria may be interesting to explore what types of shifts tend to be common/indicators.

  • B – Out of normal range (high or low)
  • H – High
  • L – Low
The last column is the count.

Phylum Level
Low Verrucomicrobia, High Fusobacteria are the most common for a shift in a single direction. A shift in Firmicutes away from the normal range is the strongest indicator of potential problems

Bottom Line
With so many bacteria involved, determining which bacteria to focus on has lacked a clear rationale. With some people shifting from one diagnosis to another over time, it is likely best to focus on the ones that seems to the foundations for many diagnosii.

I hope to update the recommendations page in the next few weeks, to increase the weight of correcting the above items instead of giving each bacteria equal weight. This would be done as an option.

This is an education post to facilitate discussing this approach with your medical professionals. It is not medical advice for the treatment of any medical condition. Always consult with your medical professional before doing any changes of diet, supplements or activity. Some items cites may interfere with prescription medicines.

Hi, I live in Cheltenham, I have been diagnosed with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia for 17 years.

I have recently been diagnosed with D-Lactic Acidosis which causes ME like symptoms. I believe that ME may be cause by D-Lactic Acidosis secondary to Bacterial Overgrowth for a percentage of ME/.CFS patients. Please read the abstract below from researchers who have found D-Lactic producing Bacteria in CFS patients. I had frequent neurological symptoms that were making me very ill.

I am now receiving treatment (Diet consisting of No Carbohydrates or Simple Sugars). The Diet can be tried by anyone as long as they check with their Doctor first.

Increased d-lactic Acid intestinal bacteria in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Sheedy

Abstract
Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are affected by symptoms of cognitive dysfunction and neurological impairment, the cause of which has yet to be elucidated. However, these symptoms are strikingly similar to those of patients presented with D-lactic acidosis. A significant increase of Gram positive facultative anaerobic faecal microorganisms in 108 CFS patients as compared to 177 control subjects (p<0.01) is presented in this report. The viable count of D-lactic acid producing Enterococcus and Streptococcus spp. This study suggests a probable link between intestinal colonization of Gram positive facultative anaerobic D-lactic acid bacteria and symptom expressions in a subgroup of patients with CFS. Given the fact that this might explain not only neurocognitive dysfunction in CFS patients but also mitochondrial dysfunction, these findings may have important clinical implications.
