What is Leaky Gut?

To put it simply, leaky gut is a health condition of the digestive system whereby the intestinal lining is irritated, inflamed and damaged as a result of many internal and external factors which it comes in contact with on a daily basis.

These factors include parasites in the digestive tract, exposure to harmful environmental chemicals, hard-to-digest gluten proteins, pathogenic bacteria and viruses, metabolic wastes and microbial toxins, etc, which may find their way into the bloodstream from the small intestine. Ordinarily, these are harmful items that are blocked out from entering the bloodstream through the tight junctions in a person who has good gut health.

But when pathogenic bacteria and other harmful materials gatecrash into the bloodstream, an immune response is usually the end result of this anomaly. These toxins are able to enter into the bloodstream because the tight junctions on the intestinal lining have become compromised and widened. When the immune system starts reacting and attacking its own body tissues or cells, there is bound to be a cascade of food allergies or intolerances and autoimmune diseases may also crop up in the process.
