The diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease is an idiopathic diagnosis, describing the predominant symptoms associated with the disease presentation. The entire theory of Inflammatory Bowel Disease being an autoimmune disease or a condition of an overactive immune system is completely false and there is zero evidence to substantiate this.  Taught this theory to be true, many well meaning gastroenterologists refuse to study their client populations looking for environmental triggers or question why alternative therapies are helpful.  The research has been heavily focused on suppressing various pro-inflammatory molecules and looking into microbial changes or infectious burden for decades. Treating infections, attempting to modulate opportunistic dysbiosis and regulating negligible amounts of surface inflammation has not lead to cures. This is because Inflammatory Bowel symptoms originate from the suppression of the immune system leading to chronic infections and ongoing damage to the gastrointestinal linings resulting in chronic inflammation.
