What Is Leaky Gut Syndrome

It might astonish you to learn that our bodies harbor a staggering 100 trillion microbes, surpassing the number of cells. While some of these microbes are beneficial others may not be as friendly

These microbes have the potential to impact various aspects of our well-being, ranging from digestion and weight to metabolism, immunity, and even our emotional state.

Upon the entry of toxins into our bodies, triggered by factors such as nutrient deficiency, stress antibiotics painkillers or antacids, there is an immediate disruption in the balance between beneficial and harmful microbes.

When bad bacteria infiltrate the body, they eliminate beneficial bacteria resulting in a slowdown of nutrient production shifts in the gut’s PH levels and overgrowth of yeast. This process eventually weakens the outer layer of the gut lining.

The gut lining serves as a secure barrier, preventing the entry of substances into our bloodstream. However, in the case of a leaky gut, this protective wall disintegrates, causing the openings in the intestinal lining to enlarge. Consequently, food particles and microbes can permeate through, affecting various areas of our body, including internal organs, muscles, joints and more various areas of our body, including internal organs, muscles joints and more

According to Dr. Berg “leaky gut.” This is a situation where there are holes in your intestine. Your food particles get into these holes and into the lymphatic system causing your immune system to react. This can lead to allergies, inflammation, and scar tissue. Certain foods and medications can destroy the gut lining causing leaky gut.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hZdwP8rp8U&t=29s

Following are a few affected conditions:

• • Candida gut, directly related to yeast overgrowth, demands too much sugar which leads to obesity.
  • Stress gut can cause chronic stress, weakening of your adrenal glands, and hormonal imbalances by affecting the thyroid gland. 
  • Immune gut affects many people who suffer from food allergies, Inflammatory bowel disease, and autoimmune disease. 
  • Gastric gut causes acid reflux which affects millions of adults. The toxic gut can result in gallbladder diseases, skin conditions, and chronic liver issues.

Frequent use of disinfectants.

Dr. Josh Axe says in his book “Eat Dirt” that the solution is simple: “We need to start seeing those countless strains of bacteria, viruses, phages, parasites, and other microbes as old friends that we’re welcoming back into our guts, so they can start protecting us again. This “old friends” theory holds that if we can reclaim our microbial diversity through micro exposures—small, repeated exposures to the “dirt,” such as bacteria, soil, dust, plant oils—we can reestablish the natural symbiotic relationship that we’ve always had with these microbes.”
