Your Gut – is the epicenter of your mental and physical health. It is directly connected to everything that happens in your body.  Your gut microbiome and the integrity of your gut lining strongly affects your health. There are certain conditions that disrupt the gut lining making it porous and leaky. Unwanted bacterial products called endotoxins, partially digested food, etc leaks through these pores of intestine walls and enter into the bloodstream. This increased permeability of the intestine is termed as leaky gut.

Immune system recognizes these undiserable products as foreign molecules and attacks them — triggers inflammation causing imbalance in the gut flora. These modifications in the intestinal biome further leads to several chronic diseases like Celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and other autoimmune diseases.

Following are the symptoms that may indicate you have leaky gut:

Digestive : Bloating, gas, and cramps.

Neurological  : Depression, Anxiety, Brain fog, stress

Immune System : most of the autoimmune disorders like Celiac disesae , Food Allergies, Lupus, Crohn’s disease

Joint and Muscles : Joint pains and inflammation, Arthritis

Others: Fatigue, Body aches, skin rashes, eczema, etc

To rule out what is exactly the root cause of your issues some important investigations need to be performed, these are advised by the functional medicine specialist. Once the result depicts the major issues the treatment is started with nutraceuticals, gut healing, therapies to balance the intestinal and gut biome, intravenous detox therapies, dietary modification and others depending on patient to patient.
