Leaky gut syndrome is a condition where the lining of the intestines becomes damaged, leading to increased permeability. This means that substances like toxins, undigested food particles, and bacteria can pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation and an immune response, potentially contributing to various health issues. Symptoms of leaky gut syndrome may include bloating, food sensitivities, fatigue, and digestive problems. While the concept is still being researched, some studies suggest that it may be linked to conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and autoimmune diseases. However, more research is needed to fully understand its implications.
