Successfully Reverse Autoimmune Disorder

Eosinophilic esophagitis autoimmune diseases also known as autoimmune disease refers to illness or disorders that occur when healthy tissue cells get destroyed by the body’s own immune system causing abnormally low activity or over activity of the immune system.

It is common with people suffering from diabetes, in particular those with Type 1 diabetes are more familiar with it. In case of Type 1 diabetes the immune system leads to over activity, the body attacks and damages its own tissues. In layman terms, the disease fighting system or immune system mistakes healthy cells as invaders and starts destroying it in turn decreasing the body’s ability to fight invaders and causing vulnerability to infections. However, in some cases the immune system may begin producing antibodies that instead of fighting infections, attacks the body’s own tissues.  This autoimmune reaction is what triggers the development of an autoimmune disease.

Testing for an Eosinophilic Esophagitis Autoimmune Disorder

There is no single test to diagnose most of the autoimmune disorders. Moreover, it can be hard to diagnose, especially in the earlier stages and add to more difficulty if multiple diseases are involved in multiple organs or systems. Your physician will use a combination of tests and review your symptoms and carry out physical examinations to diagnose you.

The diagnosis involves identifying the antibodies in your body, if your body is releasing and producing healthy tissues or not. Depending on the disorder, test used for this purpose include:

  Antinuclear antibody test (ANA): This test is often the very first test that specialists perform when they analyze the symptoms. This test involves looking for antibodies that attack the nuclei of the cells in your body. If your test results are positive it means that you may have one of these diseases, but even after the test it won’t confirm exactly which one you have or if you have one for sure.

   Your physician will carry out a complete blood count test to measure the number of red and white blood cells in your blood and other nonspecific tests to check for the inflammation these diseases produce in your body.

  To keep inflammation in check or indicate the inflammation throughout your body C-reactive protein test is carried out.

  Another test includes, examining the appearance, concentration and content of your urine with the help of urine test.

Getting the diagnosis is a long and stressful process and when it comes to treatment for autoimmune diseases, it generally focuses on reducing the immune system activities. If you are having any symptoms that are bothering you, it is important to find the cause first. Here are some steps that you can follow to find out the causes and reversing the symptoms eventually:

   Consult a specialist: Visiting a specialist who treats autoimmune disorders will be the best thing you can do to help your treatment. If you are experiencing most of the major symptoms they can help you rectify the things you are doing wrong with your diet and daily routine.
