Leaky gut may cause chronic gut inflammation, nutritional deficiencies and more.

Leaky Gut Syndrome is also known as Intestinal Permeability or Hyper-permeable Intestines. Medically speaking, this means that the lining of the intestines has become significantly more porous and damaged. This can allow undigested food particles, toxic waste products and bacteria to "leak" through the intestines and flood the blood stream.

During the normal digestion process the tight junctions stay closed forcing all molecules to effectively be screened and only pass into the blood stream through the mucosa cells. However, due to many causes these tight junctions can become open or permeable allowing un-screened molecules to flow directly into the bloodstream.

In most cases, leaky gut is created by a poor diet or a bad gut flora. However, it can also be caused by medications including antibiotics, steroids or over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin and acetaminophen, and chronic stress.

The symptoms of leaky gut can vary drastically from person to person and some people can have gut problems for a long time without symptoms. It has a variety of symptoms and can even affect things that, on the surface, don’t seem to have anything to do with the gut.
