10 Signs You Have Leaky Gut
For a long time, doctors didn’t believe in leaky gut syndrome, calling it a made-up condition. But now, more research is showing that Intestinal permeability is real and can play a big role in chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases.
Alternative health experts have always known the gut is key to overall health, with Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, saying, “All disease begins in the gut.” Today, science is proving him right.
What is Leaky Gut?
Leaky gut happens when your gut lining becomes damaged. Things like stress, infections, toxins, certain foods, and even aging can cause this damage. When the gut lining is damaged, harmful particles like undigested food and bacteria can leak into your bloodstream. This causes inflammation, and your immune system can start attacking your body.
Symptoms of leaky gut can include bloating, cramps, food sensitivities, and fatigue.
Conditions Linked to Intestinal permeability
Leaky gut can lead to many health problems, such as:
- Arthritis
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Eczema
- Asthma
- Chronic fatigue
- Thyroid problems
- Autism
- Trouble losing weight
- Brain fog
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
What Causes It?
Our environment has changed a lot over the years. We’re exposed to more chemicals, processed foods, and toxins than ever before, and our bodies are struggling to keep up. This mismatch can lead to leaky gut.
Main Causes
- Antibiotics
- Painkillers (e.g., Ibuprofen, Nurofen)
- Too much caffeine or alcohol
- Smoking
- Processed foods like sugar and gluten
- Infections (candida, bacteria)
- Toxins (from plastic, pesticides, heavy metals)
- Stress and aging
10 Signs of Leaky Gut:
- Food allergies or sensitivities
- Autoimmune diseases (e.g., Hashimoto’s, arthritis)
- Stomach issues (gas, bloating, IBS)
- Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
- Skin problems (acne, eczema, rosacea)
- Candida or thrush
- Frequent antibiotic use
- Mental health issues (anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD)
- Seasonal allergies or asthma
- Hormonal issues (e.g., PMS, PCOS)
