A simple test to find out if you might be having an autoimmune disorder(and thus gut problems) Stand with feet very close together, and close your eyes. You should feel steady on your feet even with your eyes closed. If you start to fall over even with this initial part of the test, that is a sign of potential nervous system problems possibly caused by autoimmunity. Why? When you remove the eyes which help tell us where we are in space, we must fully rely on joint and muscle signals to the brain instead. If you are a-ok at this point, then continue to the next portion of the test. I then ask patients to touch the tip of their index finger to the tip of their nose. Then repeat with the other hand. Frequently they will miss with one hand or it will be more difficult. I also will have them march in place with their eyes closed. Without realizing, many will spin 90 to 180 degrees within 50 steps! thehealthyhomeeconomist/simple-at-home-test-to-pinpoint-autoimmunity-problems/
