Poor Celiac ScoreUpdated a year ago

The score for Celiacs is not an indicator that you have Celiacs. All the scores referenced within autoimmunity are based on specific bacteria that have shown within the research to have an association with specified imbalances. This is part of the puzzle when it comes to disease manifestation. There are additional factors that contribute to disease development such as diet, exercise, age, and toxin exposures. Specifically, with autoimmunity, you must have the genes for a specific disease such as Celiacs. 


For those that do have the genes or know it runs in the family, this association and score are very important. Healthy lifestyle contributors, a healthy gut microbiome, and a healthy diet have been shown in the research to keep autoimmune diseases suppressed even with the gene for an associated disease. Optimizing the bacteria within the gut microbiome can help protect against certain autoimmune diseases. Therefore, a low/poor score is an indicator that, based on the research, optimizing the biome is important, especially if you have the genes for Celiacs.
