Leaky Gut Syndrome - Could This Be Why You Are Sick? - Ron Kness - Bog

Leaky gut is just now starting to come onto the radar for doctors as more and more people are developing gastrointestinal and other disorders with no known cause. If you have frequent unexplained sickness, you could have leaky gut syndrome. What it means is things are getting through the wall of the small intestine that aren't supposed to get through. One of the big jobs of your small intestine is to finish the digestive process by continuing to break down the food you have eaten into smaller and smaller particles. And then, it absorbs the nutrients from that food through your intestinal wall and into your bloodstream where the nutrients can be absorbed by cells and converted into energy. And it has another big job, too. It's supposed to keep harmful stuff inside the tube, where it can't cause too much trouble for your immune system. Things like bad germs, toxins, and food particles that are still too big for your body to use. But sometimes, the lining of the small intestine gets damaged or the communication signals get confused resulting in things get through that shouldn't. And that can turn into even bigger problems in the form of infection or autoimmune disorders. But in this guide, you will learn about what the leaky gut syndrome is, its potential causes, and proposed treatments that might be able to not only relieve your symptoms, but make leaky gut a thing of the past.
