Healing Leaky Gut Syndrome
Leaky Gut Syndrome can be a never ending cycle of gut inflammation, malabsorption and deficiencies which trigger, food sensitivities, autoimmune responses, eventually leading to autoimmune diseases. In fact, it can affect the whole body including the brain, leading to neuro-inflammation and Autism.
In almost every chronic illness inflammation is at the “root”or underlying cause.
Inflammation is one of the main cause of Leaky Gut Syndrome.
So it is safe to say that most chronic health conditions are driven by inflammation and the gateway to chronic health conditions is the gut.
Why Worry About The Gut
●The gut is responsible for breaking down and absorbing key nutrients
● The gut makes the majority of brain’s neurotransmitters(serotonin)
● The immune system 70-80% of it resides is in the gut
● The gut has more cells than the rest of the human body combined
● The small intestines, where we absorb most of our nutrients, has a surface area the size of a football stadium.
● If the barrier is permeable (leaky) then things that shouldn’t cross the barrier often times do causing inflammation
● This triggers immune reaction, leads to food allergies, intolerances, sensitivities, autoimmune reactions
● Causes malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies
● Eventually causes Leaky Brain
Healing The Gut – The Key to Healing The Rest of The Body
Healing begins by:
● Removing the triggers of Leaky Gut (what causes it)
● Balancing the good bacteria and removing pathogenic bacteria, yeast, parasites, toxins
● Breaking Biofilms that prevent antimicrobials from working
● Removing inflammatory foods
● Improving digestion with Betaine hCl and Pancreatic Enzymes to prevent fermentation of undigested good which becomes fuel for pathogenic bacteria, yeast and parasites

What is Leaky Gut?
Do you have leaky gut?
For 80% of the population the answer is “yes”—and most people don’t even realize it. Leaky gut syndrome is the root cause of a litany of ailments, including: chronic inflammation, allergies, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, and even arthritis.
To keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract.
When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream. This condition is known as leaky gut syndrome.
The causes of Leaky Gut need to be removed like stress, poor diet, inflammatory foods, infections, poor digestion, toxins, medications. Then the good bacteria need to balanced.
You must take these necessary steps in order for your health to improve. Prevention is the KEY. Preventing the triggers that lead to serious chronic health conditions by avoiding offending foods for a period of time to allow the gut to rest and the immune system to calm down. I recommend you get tested for gluten intolerance or if you have a Gene mutation to gluten because gluten is highly inflammatory to the gut. Adopt an Autoimmune/anti-inflammatory diet.
The Mediterranean diet is anti-inflammatory with healthy inflammation reducing oils, plenty of greens, and berries.

This condition is known as leaky gut syndrome.
There are hundreds of Autoimmune disorders caused by the body’s own immune system attacking its own tissues and organs. For example Hashimoto’s’ Thyroiditis is an attack on the thyroid gland due to a mistaken identity or molecular mimicry from eating gluten. Gluten has protein peptides that look like the thyroid. Crohn’s disease attacks the GI system, MS attacks the nervous system. What these all have in common is Leaky Gut. Inflammation gives rise to barrier breaches and now these protein peptides become circulating immune complexes in the blood and can go to any place in the body.
The take home point is if you have an autoimmune issue, you most likely have a poor functioning digestive system and leaky gut. Because of leaky gut by products of all the things passing through your gut barrier into your bloodstream are causing your immune system to respond.
One Mans Food May Be Another Man’s Poison
I can’t tell you how many people once told they have a food sensitivity or intolerance say to me “but I thought that food was good for me.” I have to reinforce that while in normal circumstances this food should be healthy for you, now it is a poison to you because your immune system has tagged it as a foreign invader. So everytime you eat it your immune system will go into attack mode. You won’t get any nutrition out of it, and it will add to your overall toxicity level causing systemic inflammation and may eventually lead to serious health conditions like autoimmune illness.
Furthermore once an autoimmune disease is triggered it can never be reversed only managed!
Giving the Gut a Rest is an Important Step
I have found that most people with chronic GI complaints have an issue with certain foods. In these circumstances therapeutic diets may need to be followed for a period of time in order to give the GI system a rest and be able to heal.
Changing your diet or lifestyle in order to get better can have a huge impact on:
● Reducing inflammation
● Healing Leaky Gut
● Controlling Candida
● Eliminating food sensitivities
● Reducing carbohydrate intolerance
● Healing SIBO
● Defeating Biofilms
● Weight loss
When excessive gram-negative bacteria are present in the gut inflammation can occur leading to Leaky Gut. So the wrong diet, a poor diet of inflammatory foods, toxins, antibiotics can all disrupt our microbiome by killing beneficial bacteria and giving rise to harmful ones that cause inflammation and damage our gut barrier.
