If you haven’t heard about leaky gut by now… allow me to fill you in on exactly what it means. Leaky gut is a term used to describe an intestinal barrier that has become, quite simply, too permeable. In short, this means that your intestines are no longer doing an adequate job of keeping antigens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and potentially allergenic or inflammatory proteins from food out of your bloodstream and lymphatic system. The tight junctions between your intestine’s cell walls become damaged and stretched, and these gaps allow antigens to pass from your intestines into the rest of your body where they can cause inflammation, allergies, food sensitivities and more… Your gut cells have the ability to turn over and regenerate every 48 hours… IF you have what they need to do so.
