What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
The small intestines permit only certain nutrients and electrolytes into the bloodstream, normally. Toxins and microbes and food particles do not get through. When the gut barrier weakens, the bloodstream is contaminated; inflammation and eventual autoimmune dysfunction occur.
Symptoms include bloating, abdominal cramps. Diarrhea, constipation, excess flatulence, skin allergies, joint pains, migraines, joint pains and food sensitivities.
What causes it?
Too many courses of antibiotics, too much alcohol, infections, celiac disease, food sensitivities, Type 1 Diabetes and radiotherapy can contribute. A weakened immune system, chemotherapy drugs and yeast overgrowth in the bowel are other known causes.
What does it lead to?
It can result in Crohn’s Disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, eczema and psoriasis, fibromyalgia, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue syndrome.
