Is it helpful to order a Wheat Zoomer for a patient with autoimmune disease even if the patient does not have GI symptoms?

Yes, it helpful to order a Wheat Zoomer for a patient with autoimmune disease even if the patient does not have GI symptoms. According to Vibrant's Wheat Zoomer - ENA Overlap white paper, "over the last few years, wheat sensitivities have been associated with many disorders. Remarkably, in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease), Addison’s disease, autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Sjogren’s syndrome, and autoimmune hepatitis, the frequency of celiac disease is much higher than that in the normal population." In other words, leaky gut driven by wheat/gluten sensitivity can be a trigger for autoimmune disease. Vibrant's Wheat Zoomer can be helpful since it provides insight on both wheat/gluten sensitivity and intestinal permeability (leaky gut).
