Medical Conditions - Leaky Gut Syndrome

Leaky gut, also called intestinal permeability, is a digestive condition in which the tight junctions of the intestinal wall become loose, resulting in leakage of bacteria and toxins into the bloodstream. An unhealthy diet, long-term nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use, stress, and chronic inflammation are contributing factors. Improving gut health by limiting refined carb intake and NSAIDs use, taking a probiotic supplement, eating fermented foods, and eating plenty of high-fiber foods can help this condition.
