Gut Health Repair: Overcoming Leaky Gut with Natural Remedies




Are You Suffering from Leaky Gut? Recognise These Symptoms:

Gut issues, food intolerances, fatigue, skin issues, pain, or mood imbalances

Leaky Gut Syndrome, or increased intestinal permeability, is a condition that has gained significant attention in recent years. It occurs when the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged, causing undigested food particles, toxins, and bacteria to leak through the intestines and into the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation and an immune response, leading to various health issues.


Causes of Leaky Gut


  1. Poor Diet: Consuming high amounts of refined sugars, processed foods, and unhealthy fats can damage the gut lining.

  2. Chronic Stress: Long-term stress can weaken the immune system and disrupt the gut barrier.

  3. Medications: Prolonged use of NSAIDs, antibiotics, and certain other medications can harm the gut lining.

  4. Infections: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can contribute to intestinal permeability.

  5. Environmental Toxins: Exposure to toxins in food, water, and the environment can damage the gut lining.


Symptoms of Leaky Gut


Leaky gut can manifest in a variety of symptoms, often overlapping with other health issues, making it challenging to diagnose. Common symptoms include:


  • Digestive issues (bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation)

  • Food sensitivities and allergies

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Skin problems (acne, eczema, rashes)

  • Joint pain and inflammation

  • Mood disorders (anxiety, depression)

  • Autoimmune conditions
