To this end, it is very important you keep your own food diary in order to study and understand inflammatory triggers which you have to exclude from your gut healing foods list. It is the first step of healing leaky gut syndrome naturally.

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.

What are the Causes of Leaky Gut?

The causes of leaky gut syndrome are not immediately known. But because immune system reaction is a trigger for intestinal hyper-permeability, we can safely say that the list below are some of the causes of leaky gut:

-Chronic stress and depression

-Poor diet

-Overuse of medications especially antibiotics and NSAIDs

-Bad bacteria and yeasts overgrowth in the digestive system

-Toxic mold exposure

-Lack of zinc

-Inflammation

-Gluten proteins

-Etc

But to give you a general idea of what you will learn about fixing gut dysbiosis for good, you have to understand that you will stop eating the many so-called “healthy foods” commonly found in health shops and food stores. These foods are actually doing more harm than good to your body generally and your digestive system specifically.

The overall idea of healing leaky gut syndrome naturally is to nourish your body with the diet plans that will no longer compromise or irritate the digestive tract lining while steps are being taken to repair, heal, seal and restore your gut health. For example, in my previous post on gluten and leaky gut, I explained clearly why avoiding gluten-containing grains and foods such as wheat, barley and rye can help you to fix your chronic illness sooner rather than later. The protein component in these types of grains is difficult to digest in the stomach and absorb in the small intestine into the bloodstream.

The foods that are not easily digestible and absorbed in the small intestine can cause irritation, inflammation and damage to the lining of the digestive tract. If the intestinal mucosa is compromised, it means that the tight junctions between the cells will forcefully open up and allow pathogenic bacteria into the bloodstream because of the production of excess zonulin.

The effect of this is the ability of a whole gamut of undigested food particles, viruses, fungi, bacteria, etc seeping through into the bloodstream without the usual barrier function which supposed to debar these foreign invaders from finding their way into the bloodstream. Definitely, there will be immune response when the immune system notices foreign bodies in the bloodstream, tissues, cells and organs of the body. The best bet is to eliminate or avoid foods that your body is intolerant to.

Causes of Leaky Gut Syndrome

Although healing leaky gut syndrome naturally is important to you right now, you will also do yourself a world of good to know what causes it. This will help you to sustain permanent remission after healing and sealing your poor gut health.
