Autoimmune Quiz

Although there are many different types of autoimmune diseases that affect many different organs, all autoimmune conditions are the result of your immune system attacking your own body.

When your body is working overtime to defend itself against something potentially dangerous –– an allergen, toxin, infection, or even food –– it can easily become stressed and mistakenly attack your own tissues instead of potential invaders, causing a wide range of symptoms.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, especially a combination of several of them, you may have an autoimmune condition.

Digestive Tract

Your gut is the foundation of your whole body’s health because 80% of your immune system is located there. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it could be a sign that your gut has become leaky, which opens the gateway for toxins, microbes, and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream and overwhelm your immune system.

Abdominal pain

Blood or mucus in stool

Diarrhea

Joint/Muscle

One of the most common parts of your body a confused immune system attacks is your joints, tissues, and muscles. For this reason, if you experience the following symptoms, it could be a sign that your immune system has begun firing on itself.

Joint pain

Muscle pain or weakness

Skin/Hair

Skin issues are often a sign of a larger underlying health problem inside your body that’s begun manifesting itself on the outside. If you experience any of these symptoms, your immune system is likely fighting off some sort of larger issue.

Recurrent rashes or hives

White patches on your skin or inside your mouth

Mouth ulcers

Dry eyes, mouth, or skin

Sun sensitivity

Hair loss

Energy/Sleep

Aside from the pain associated with autoimmunity keeping you awake at night or distracted during the day, if your body starts attacking your thyroid, it can disrupt the release of sleep-producing hormones and result in the following symptoms:

Insomnia

Chronic fatigue

Difficulty concentrating or focusing

Other

As you can see, autoimmunity can quickly become a total-body issue. If you experience any combination of the following symptoms, the root cause of your discomfort could be an autoimmune condition.

Weight loss or weight gain

Heat or cold intolerance

Rapid heartbeat

Blood clots

Numbness or tingling in your hands or feet

Multiple miscarriages
