@grewalcentermd Leaky Gut occurs when ‘antigens’, or, bacteria, toxins, undigested food particles, and other small molecules pass through your intestinal walls into your blood stream. Normally, your intestinal barriers block such entry with an array of cells that are linked together by tight junction proteins and other supportive molecules. If your intestinal barriers have been compromised, those antigens can pass through causing tissue damage, and inflammation that can lead or promote autoimmune diseases. Factors that contribute towards leaky gut are your Diet, stress levels, and types of bacteria in in your microbiome, or gut. To help heal your gut and know which foods cause such low-grade inflammation, fatigue, bloating and discomfort, try my free, ‘I’m Tired Elimination Diet’ via the link in Bio above.
