What is a Leaky Gut Syndrome? I have been having problems with allergies and swollen glands followed with fatigue and tiredness. Doctors said that this must be some immune dysfunction which could cause some autoimmune disease. This all sounds very frightening to me and on top of that some mother's friend, also a doctor mentioned that Leaky Gut Syndrome??? What is that?
When you have problems with your digestive tract, when it is inflamed, you develop a Leaky Gut. Large food particles (molecules), toxins etc can pass where they could not before and reach the bloodstream. Immune system reacts, making new structures that liver has to destroy and it cannot be done that easily. Anyway, today doctors established a proven link between state of the digestive tract and various infections and diseases.
