How to Heal Leaky Gut Syndrome?

How to Heal Leaky Gut Syndrome?

Sharing Is Caring

 

 

The health community is littered with fads and well-intentioned but often-harmful gimmicks like kombucha and the paleo diet. Curiously, though, there may be truth to leaky gut syndrome – a collection of digestive symptoms including gas and bloating, cramps and food sensitivities.

Wait a second. Doesn’t that sound like Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Well here’s the thing: your gut has a powerful, albeit mysterious effect on your well-being and quality of life. It’s so powerful in fact that it’s been called ‘your surrogate brain’ by Dr. Steven Lamm of The View. It’s the biggest organ of your immune system – and it’s clouded in too many unknowns to address leaky gut effectively.

We know it exists. But we don’t know enough leaky gut syndrome for diagnosis or a cure at this time.

What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?

Leaky gut syndrome is a collection of symptoms linked to bad digestion. Our current understanding suggests it’s caused by intestinal permeability. That’s when tight junctions in your gut, which filter the molecules that pass through the small intestine don’t work properly. Molecules can pass from your intestine into you bloodstream when this happens. Hence the name, ‘leaky gut syndrome’.

This is a similar issue faced by people with Crohn’s and Celiac disease. But we don’t know what causes leaky gut or the ailments linked to it. Nor do we know if someone without Crohn’s or Celiac disease would get leaky gut syndrome in the first place – or when leaky gut syndrome would affect someone without certain types of drugs, radiation therapy or food allergies.

Leaky gut syndrome symptoms are not unique either. They’re shared with other gut-related ailments like IBS. Tests for leaky gut often fail to identify the cause of the problem, which can leave patients with leaky gut symptoms without a diagnosis or treatment.

And yet your concerns about leaky gut syndrome may be credible – especially if you have a history of Crohn’s or Celiac disease.

Risk Factors for Leaky Gut

It’s a mystery why people get leaky gut syndrome. With that being said, there are clues as to why it happens. While it’s not certain, you may be more likely to get leaky gut symptoms if you have:

Food Sensitivities – People with food sensitivities may be more likely to get leaky gut. That’s because your immune system is deluged with toxins in the blood stream every day. While most folks can fight them off, food sensitivities appear to force the body to mass-produce antibodies to counter them, particularly foods with antigens like wheat and dairy. This may strain the intestines, and make permeability an issue.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Hungarian researchers found that people with IBS and Colitis appear to have higher risk of permeability in the colon. Crohn’s patients may be at even higher risk – one study found that the relatives of people with this uncomfortable ailment had 10-20% greater chance of leaky gut.
That suggests leaky gut syndrome may be influenced by your genes.

Autoimmune Disease – A 2011 article published in the journal Physiologic Reviews found that a protein called zonulin may increase risk of intestinal permeability. That risk went up significantly in patients with an autoimmune disease. Further research suggests gluten may trigger this process even in people not genetically prone to it.

Thyroid Problems – You may be at higher risk of leaky gut syndrome if you have thyroid issue like Hashimoto’s disease. Also called ‘chronic thyroiditis’, this can lead to hypothyroidism, impaired metabolism, fatigue, depression, weight gain and a variety of related symptoms.

Malabsorption – Leaky gut may lead to nutritional deficiencies from vitamin B12, magnesium and a variety of enzymes that help with digestion. You’ll want to speak with your doctor in this scenario – which you should be doing regardless, if you have gut problems. Your doctor may suggest probiotics and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, if they don’t trigger your leaky gut symptoms.

Inflammatory Skin Conditions – There’s an interesting connection between skin and your gut. That connection may include acne and psoriasis, if you’re prone to leaky gut syndrome. While many doctors prescribe creams to address skin disorders, it may be worth speaking to a health practitioner willing to explore the mind-gut axis with you, and if healing your gut may also help your skin.

Mood Problems and Risk of Autism – A study published in the journal Neuro Endocrinology Letters links leaky gut to several neuro cognitive disorders. For example, the inflammatory response of intestinal permeability appears to trigger pro-inflammatory cytokines. That in turn may lead to chemicals that cause depression.

What If I Think I Have Leaky Gut Syndrome?

Leaky gut syndrome means you have digestive symptoms that need diagnosis. Don’t think for a second you’re being hypochondriacal about it – leaky gut syndrome is a real, albeit misunderstood ailment of the digestive system.
Given the latter’s influence on health and well-being, digestive problems go far beyond a troubled tummy, discomfort and trips to the bathroom.

If you have ongoing digestion problems, be they bloating, cramps, food sensitivities or something else, you need to speak with your doctor. That may not cure your gut problems, but it’s certainly a good place to start.

 

It’s also worth considering that some doctors can’t – or won’t – look into what’s causing your discomfort, and will instead look to just relieve your symptoms with digestive medications, like proton pump inhibitors. Not all doctors are willing to explore leaky gut syndrome with you, out of time constraints and the fact that, well, we really don’t know much about leaky gut at this time, other than we know it exists.

You may want to consider speaking with a specialist. A gastroenterologist may be of interest if this is a route you want to explore.

We offer Maximum Digestion Probiotic by Digestive Science here at Natural Health Source. You may find that helps your digestion, although we don’t claim it can cure leaky gut syndrome, IBS, acid reflux, or any other digestive problem. While it may help, your gut is a mysterious place that is second only to your brain for the influence it holds on your body function and health.

Testimonials

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Undoubtedly a game changer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have never really written a review for something I bought.

I've been taking antidepressants for a while now, and while they made me feel better mentally, they also made it impossible for me to have sex. A tough trade off.

Since I'm 35, doctors think my sexual problems are more mental than physical.

I recently felt so desperate that i corrected the mistakes in my diet as you instructed and I bought the pill you suggested online, even though I knew it couldn't work.

It did, though! Every time I've taken it, it's worked.

As long as I take 1 or 2 the same day I'm trying to have sex it 100% works for me.

I'm shocked.

If you're in the same position as me, you should at least give it a try.

 

The greatest that I've ever tried ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sorry if that sounds rude, but I have no idea if the reviews on your site are real or not.

You just don't know these days. I did want to send you an email from a REAL person, though, because it got REAL results.

I've used your recommended diet and Supplement for three weeks.

The first week I took two pills every day, the second week I took four, and this week I'm taking five.

I'm almost done with my first bottle.

... The end result? That's right, in just three weeks I've lost 4.5 pounds and almost two dress sizes.

I need to lose more than 4–5 pounds to go down two dress sizes.

Besides that, my breasts are still the same cup size?!

They will probably get smaller as I lose more weight, but they've never been this full while I've been dieting. It's awful that my breasts lose weight first most of the time.

I just seem to have lost most of the fat on my outer legs and lower buttocks. I'm going to order three bottles now.

I believe in you and will always buy your recommendations .

My husband and I are both very grateful.



For the first time in ten years, there are no longer any NSAIDs, and GI is excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

no more NSAIS and GI is great first time in a decade

My back hurt in an accident about three years ago. Because of this, I had to take NSAIDs every day, but they didn't help much. At first, yes, but after a while, not so much.

I chose to try this Supplement you recommended because it had a very strong form of curcumin in it along with many other things.

I wasn't sure at first that a pill with so many ingredients could work. I was wrong, and I'm so glad I gave it a try.

I have turned off all NSAIdS. I don't have much pain. As a really nice bonus, all of my stomach pain and GI problems have gone away.

 My GI has been giving me trouble for almost ten years. My doctor is also shocked. He said that the anti-inflammatory ingredients in your recommended diet and supplement have really helped to calm down his GI tract and lower the swelling.

I'm very pleased. I'm really thankful. Not any more drugs. No more hurting. For the first time in years, I feel whole.

It worked better than a year ago. It helped with the stomach problems I had during allergy season, which was a pleasant surprise.

The change surprised my GI doctor, who has been taking care of me for almost ten years.
