Leaky gut syndrome is a digestive condition that affects the lining of the intestines. In leaky gut syndrome, gaps in the intestinal walls open up and allow bacteria, undigested food particles and other toxins to pass into the bloodstream. These toxins are then circulated throughout the body triggering an autoimmune response to try and eliminate the "toxic invaders".
This "autoimmune battle" is causing the symptoms most experience with LGS. Unfortunately, traditional medicine focuses more on symptom control rather than correcting the root cause. By naturally healing the gut, rather than just medicating and trying to live with the symptoms, why not eliminate the reason the symptoms exist in the first place.
