HESSEQUA NEWS - Would you be surprised to know that joint pain, skin problems, sugar cravings, food allergies, food sensitivities, constipation, and even autoimmune conditions all could stem from the same root cause?
Leaky gut syndrome is sometimes referred to as “intestinal permeability”. In short, leaky gut means that your intestinal lining has holes (you can literally think of these holes as leaks) that allow undigested food particles, bacteria, and other substances to enter your bloodstream where they don’t belong. This is a huge danger to your overall health for many reasons.
What makes it so serious is the fact that these substances poison the body.
Leaky gut symptoms are not unique. They are shared by other problems, too. And tests often fail to uncover a definite cause of the problem. That can leave people without a diagnosis and, therefore, untreated.
Chronic inflammation is one of the primary dangers of having leaky gut syndrome. Not only does systemic inflammation prevent your body from being able to heal and repair itself naturally, but it’s also a silent and deadly contributor to the onset of most chronic illnesses and diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
The symptoms of leaky gut are?
- Skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis
- New allergies, food sensitivities, and food intolerances
- Digestive symptoms, including bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, or bowel irregularity (which are often diagnosed as “irritable bowel syndrome” or IBS)
- Candida overgrowth
- Irritable Bowel Diseases, such as Celiac Disease, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
- Autoimmune disease, including Hashimoto’s and rheumatoid arthritis
- Depression and anxiety
- Hormonal imbalances, including PMS and estrogen dominance
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Migraines
- Brain fog
- Asthma
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Difficult weight loss (despite eating healthy)
- Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
It is crucial to find a doctor who will take time with you and take your concerns seriously.
