THE LEAKY GUT SOLUTION

 Also called "increased intestinal permeability," leaky gut is a medical condition in which gaps in your intestinal wall start to give way or loosen up. This condition makes it easier for larger substances like bacteria, toxins, and other undigested materials to pass through the intestinal spaces into the bloodstream.  

Within our stomach, we have intestinal linings covering more than 4000 square feet of surface area. When the gut is in good working condition, it forms a closed barrier that controls what gets absorbed into the blood- stream.

A Leaky gut has gaps or spaces that allow the passage of digested food, toxins, and other substances to pass into the blood- stream or the tissues beneath. 

Such occurrences might lead to inflammation and changes in the gut flora (friendly bacteria) that could lead to problems within the digestive tract in particular and the entire body system in general. 

Research today shows a significant relationship between medications in intestinal bacteria, and inflammation plays a significant role in the development of many chronic diseases. The gastrointestinal tract is a tube made up of different connected organs running from the mouth to the anus. The organs of the digestive tract include the following:

● The stomach

● The gullet or esophagus

● Both the small and large intestines. 

Within the stomach, digestive enzymes break down nutrients from food into smaller molecules that can be easily absorbed and utilized by the body for growth, energy, and body repair functions. Also, the intestines shield the bloodstream from harmful toxins and bacteria. Leaky Gut Syndrome allows the movement of toxic materials from the gut into the blood- stream leading to different autoimmune diseases.
