Leaky Gut Syndrome
When the intestinal barrier becomes permeable, it's known as "Leaky Gut Syndrome". This "leak" allows pathogens, food and environmental toxins, and undigested molecules into our bloodstream, which causes the body to mount an immune response.

Along with environmental and genetic factors, there's growing evidence that these attacks — and the systemic inflammation they cause — play a crucial role in the development of autoimmunity.

Modern factors that cause "Leaky Gut"...
Poor Diet (especially ones with a high intake of gluten and processed foods)
Medications (NSAIDs, Steroids, Antacids, Antibiotics)
Infection
Hormone Imbalance
Stress
... are so prevalent that most people suffer from a "Leaky Gut" — and it doesn't necessarily manifest as digestive trouble. "Leaky Gut Syndrome" can manifest as heart failure, brain fog, eczema & psoriasis, metabolic issues, allergies, and autoimmune issues (including Celiac's, RA, Hashimoto's, and IBD).
