“When the gut becomes hyper-permeable, all sorts of gunk can get through and run loose in the body”
~ Karen DeFelice, Author of Enzymes: Go With Your Gut
Over 90% of people have Leaky Gut and don’t even know it!
Intestinal barrier permeability, aka “leaky gut”, is when the integrity of the tight junctions of the gut lining are compromised. The walls of the intestines act as barriers, controlling what enters the bloodstream to be transported to your organs. Small gaps in the intestinal wall called tight junctions allow water and nutrients to pass through, while blocking the passage of harmful substances. Intestinal permeability refers to how easily substances pass through the intestinal wall. When the tight junctions of intestinal walls become loose, the gut becomes more permeable, which may allow bacteria and toxins to pass from the gut into the bloodstream. Disruption of intestinal tight junction barrier permeability can negatively impact local and systemic immune function and contribute to systemic inflammatory processes, both of which contribute to an excess of downstream chronic inflammatory disorders.
The truth is we all have a leaky gut! Why? Let’s face it our food chain has been destroyed through pesticide spraying, GMO foods, anemic soils (no minerals), and processed foods.
