    Leaky gut, also known as increased intestinal permeability, occurs when the gut lining becomes damaged and allows large particles to pass through into the bloodstream. This can lead to systemic issues as the immune system attacks these particles, creating inflammation throughout the body. The gut can become leaky due to exposure to toxins, bacteria, medications, foods like gluten, stress, antibiotics, and yeast that damage the gut lining. Healing the gut is considered for digestive issues, nutritional deficiencies, immune conditions, psychiatric conditions, and signs of systemic inflammation.

    Leaky Gut & Your Health

    What is Leaky Gut? NOTES

    ______________________________________________________

    Patient Handouts
    Leaky gut, also known as increased intestinal
    permeability, has been linked to a variety of condi- ______________________________________________________
    tions including arthritis, autoimmune diseases, ______________________________________________________
    autism, and skin conditions, as well as many symp- ______________________________________________________
    toms such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea,
    ______________________________________________________
    and cramping. How is it that a gut condition can
    ______________________________________________________
    lead to so many systemic issues? When our gut
    lining is damaged, it becomes ‘leaky’ and allows ______________________________________________________
    large particles to pass through the lining and into ______________________________________________________
    our bloodstream. Our immune system, not used to ______________________________________________________
    being exposed to particles of this size, views them ______________________________________________________
    as invaders and attacks them, creating complexes ______________________________________________________
    of food particles and immune cells that can depos-
    ______________________________________________________
    it all over the body, creating inflammation.
    Through this process, an issue in our gut can ______________________________________________________
    create symptoms within our joints, skin, even our ______________________________________________________
    brain. ______________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________
    Why Does the Gut Become Leaky? ______________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________
    Today, we are exposed to many substances that
    ______________________________________________________
    can damage our gut lining. Toxins, bacteria, medi-
    cations, and even certain foods can damage our ______________________________________________________
    gut lining and promote the development of leaky ______________________________________________________
    gut. Some of the top offenders are gluten, NSAIDS, ______________________________________________________
    stress, antibiotics, yeast overgrowth, and pesti- ______________________________________________________
    cides. This constant onslaught causes the tight ______________________________________________________
    links between the gut cells to separate. Common
    ______________________________________________________
    genetic mutations can also influence our ability to
    create new cells and repair the leaks. ______________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________
    When Do We Heal the Gut? ______________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________
    We consider healing the gut when we see certain ______________________________________________________
    symptoms, particularly skin conditions such as
    ______________________________________________________
    acne and eczema, digestive upset including
    ______________________________________________________
    diarrhea, constipation, and heartburn, and nutri-
    tional deficiencies linked to gut malabsorption. We ______________________________________________________
    also may consider treating the gut when treating ______________________________________________________
    immune conditions such as autoimmune diseases, ______________________________________________________
    seasonal allergies, food allergies, and asthma. ______________________________________________________
    Since our gut produces many of our neurotrans- ______________________________________________________
    mitters (brain messengers), especially serotonin,
    ______________________________________________________
    we must consider gut health in psychiatric condi-
    tions such as anxiety and depression. As well, any ______________________________________________________
    signs of inflammation of the body may benefit ______________________________________________________
    from gut healing as this helps to reduce the total ______________________________________________________
    load of inflammation in the body. ______________________________________________________
