#16-A Deeper Dive Into Autoimmune Disease Flashcards
1. True or False: Autoimmune disease is diagnosed when there are positive antibodies found in blood work, but no symptoms are present.
False
2. Increased intestinal permeability can be detected through which protein(s) found in blood work?

c. Zonulin
d. Occludin
a. Both occludin and zonulin
3. Which of the following answers explains why gluten can cause leaky gut?
a. Gluten has been shown to decrease levels of zonulin in the gut, which heals the gut lining
b. Gluten has been shown to increase levels of glial cells in the gut, which makes the gut lining more permeable
c. None of these answers are correct
d. Gluten has been shown to increase levels of zonulin in the gut, which makes the gut lining more permeable
d. Gluten has been shown to increase levels of zonulin in the gut, which makes the gut lining more permeable
4. In order for Addison’s disease to be diagnosed, at least what percentage of the adrenal glands need to be destroyed?
a. 50%
b. 90%
c. 30%
d. 100%
b. 90%
5. What is LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes) also known as, and why is it often misdiagnosed?
a. LADA is also known as type 1 diabetes, and is often misdiagnosed because those who develop this disease are younger than usual
b. LADA is also known as type 1 diabetes, and is often misdiagnosed because those who develop this disease don’t exhibit typical diabetes symptoms
c. LADA is also known as type 1.5 diabetes, and is often misdiagnosed because those who develop this disease are older than usual
d. LADA is also known as type 2 diabetes, and is often misdiagnosed because those who develop this disease are older than usual
c. LADA is also known as type 1.5 diabetes, and is often misdiagnosed because those who develop this disease are older than usual
6. What did one study that Will Cole discuss demonstrate about ow stress impacts thyroid function?
a. Stress negatively impacts thyroid function due to decreased conversion of T4 (inactive thyroid hormone) to T3 (active thyroid hormone)
b. Stress negatively impacts thyroid function due to increased conversion of T4 (inactive thyroid hormone) to T3 (active thyroid hormone)
c. Stress positively impacts thyroid function due to increased conversion of T4 (inactive thyroid hormone) to T3 (active thyroid hormone)
d. None of these answers are correct
a. Stress negatively impacts thyroid function due to decreased conversion of T4 (inactive thyroid hormone) to T3 (active thyroid hormone)
7. Autoimmune disease is more prevalent in women due to which of the following factors?

c. C-reactive Protein (CRP), homocysteine, and occludin
d. C-reactive Protein (CRP), ferritin, and zinc
b. C-reactive Protein (CRP), homocysteine, and ferritin

a. It’s shown to support brain function through the consumption of healthy fats
b. It’s shown to lower overall inflammation through the consumption of inflammation-calming foods
c. It’s shown to stabilize blood sugar through consumption of sustainable forms of energy as opposed to quick burning simple carbohydrates
d. All of these options are correct
d. All of these options are correct
