Home Remedies and Herbs for Leaky Gut Syndrome

Leaky gut syndrome is a gastrointestinal condition that affects the lining of the intestines. Leaky gut syndrome, also called increased intestinal permeability, occurs when the intestinal walls become damaged. Due to the damage, the contents of the intestines, including bacteria and toxins, leak through the intestinal walls and into the bloodstream.¹

Leaky gut syndrome is only recently becoming more recognized as an actual medical condition. Many people are starting to notice symptoms of leaky gut syndrome. It’s important to treat this condition because chronic leaky gut may lead to worse conditions including Crohn's disease or rheumatoid arthritis.¹
 
What Causes Leaky Gut Syndrome?

Leaky gut syndrome causes are the result of damage done to the intestinal lining. Causes of damage may include:

• Chronic inflammation
• Food sensitivities
• Damage from medications
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Lowered immunity

When any factor causes damage to the intestines and the waste leaks into the bloodstream, it can trigger an autoimmune response. From the autoimmune response, the body will produce painful and uncomfortable leaky gut syndrome symptoms that are often chronic in nature.^1,2
