Because leaky gut syndrome is an impaired gut lining, nutrients aren't properly absorbed, and the impaired lining fails as an effective barrier to protect against foreign invaders. The exact cause of leaky gut syndrome has yet to be discovered; however, there are many possible underlying causes. Genetic predisposition may be to blame in some people who are sensitive to environmental triggers that initiate an autoimmune response. Diet is a significant factor when it comes to health and wellness. Certain foods have been linked to increased inflammation which can aggravate or worsen leaky gut syndrome. Toxin overload from environmental exposures, high drug and alcohol consumption, or overuse of antibiotics may be to blame. Toxins weaken the immune system which can have a negative impact on the gut. Many symptoms of leaky gut are brushed off as “normal” bodily functions, but these uncomfortable conditions can be avoided! Do you suffer from any of the following? Chronic diarrhea, constipation, gas, or bloating, nutritional deficiencies, poor immune system, headaches, brain fog, memory loss, excessive fatigue, skin rashes and problems such as acne, eczema, or rosacea, cravings for sugar or carbs, arthritis or joint pain, depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD. You may be surprised to learn these conditions have been linked to gut health! Determining which causes are attributed to your illness is key to correcting issues.
