What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Leaky Gut Syndrome, also known as ‘increased intestinal permeability’, is a digestive condition. Inside our stomachs, we have an extensive intestinal lining. This lining, which is like a tight net, forms a barrier and filters what gets absorbed into the bloodstream. When it is damaged and malfunctioning, a barrier doesn’t exist, and it may have cracks and holes in it.
These holes allow partially digested food, bad bacteria, and other toxins to penetrate the tissues beneath it. This becomes inflamed, and the normal bacteria, which is called gut flora, changes. The changes in gut flora lead to digestive conditions and affect other aspects of your health, too, inducing chronic inflammation.
There are many symptoms that display themselves with a leaky gut. I always advocate to not self-diagnose and to consult with your healthcare provider, but some of the symptoms include:
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, stomach cramps, diarrhea and gas.
- Autoimmune diseases – when the body’s natural immune response is compromised, it starts fighting against itself.
- Food allergies.
- Food intolerances.
- Fungal infections.
- Chronic fatigue.
- Hormonal imbalances.
- Seasonal allergies.
- Skin conditions.
- Joint pains.
- Emotional disturbances – depression and anxiety.
- Headaches and migraines.
- Brain fog.
How does Leaky Gut Syndrome affect lives?
If you have leaky gut syndrome, then we have no doubt that this condition can cause you discomfort in many ways. Having to deal with the symptoms, the anticipation of flare-ups, and living a regular lifestyle around this condition leave many people like you in a state of anxiety. You are not alone, and we want to help you. There are many doctors who prescribe this program to their patients. Perhaps have a word with yours first or try it based on the testimonials from doctors.
What are the main causes of Leaky Gut?
- Dysbiosis (bacterial imbalance) – an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Genetics – one of the main causes of a leaky gut is your genetic and biological disposition. You could be more sensitive in the digestive department based on your DNA.
- Lifestyle – your lifestyle could be constantly triggering your genetic sensitivities.
- Diet – a diet rich in inflammatory foods and ingredients that do not suit your body will put your body into a state of inflammation, causing many different conditions and issues in the body.
- Environment – toxins, pollution, pesticides, untreated water…
- Stress and sickness – weaken the immune system, which ultimately inhibits your body’s ability to eliminate harmful viruses and bacteria, which then causes a leaky gut.
- Medications – long-term use of anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen and antibiotics (which is one of the reasons why doctors don’t prescribe them like they used to).
What is the treatment for Leaky Gut?
Fixing a leaky gut with an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle will assist with rebuilding the gut lining and promote positive changes in the gut flora. Promoting good gut bacteria aids healing and reduces inflammation.
If you are going to do a search on how you can do this yourself, proceed with caution. What has happened is that many unqualified bloggers have published lists of foods to avoid and supplements to take for many GI tract malfunctions and other non-communicable diseases, and these cause more harm than good.
People with gastrointestinal issues follow these and wonder why they are still suffering and often feeling worse. You cannot take a few supplements to get rid of leaky gut syndrome or any autoimmune disease.
What is recommended for Leaky Gut?
Eat Burn Sleep is an anti-inflammatory lifestyle that promotes optimum physical and mental health. It is a natural treatment for leaky gut syndrome. By following the science-backed plan, people with gastrointestinal conditions, autoimmune diseases, and other non-communicable diseases achieve long-term relief.
Some studies have shown that leaky gut syndrome is possibly associated with diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, fibromyalgia, joint problems, skin issues, mental illness, and obesity. These are all conditions that respond well to this anti-inflammatory dietary protocol and lifestyle program. Following the guidance from the Eat Burn Sleep program, the results show that the gut microbiome is rebuilt and intestinal walls heal. The conditions decline, and very often, symptoms diminish completely.
Other benefits result from following the program, like weight loss, glowing skin, happier moods, and boosting the immune system.
