Many people have leaky gut syndrome, which is also known as “intestinal permeability.”

It is a long-term problem with gut health. Most individuals who have leaky gut don’t know it, but if they don’t get treatment, it can cause even more health problems. People with leaky gut syndrome have holes in their intestinal walls that let bacteria and other poisons into the bloodstream. This can cause a lot of other problems since toxins in the blood are then sent to various organs and tissues in the body.

We’ll speak about how to regulate your diet and fix a leaky gut in this article. Our article “Leaky Gut: Everything You Need to Know” has additional general information regarding leaky gut syndrome.

A health therapy can only be holistic if it does more than only treat the symptoms. It also has to work on getting rid of the cause. What if you only pay attention to the symptoms and not the cause? In that instance, the same problem will keep coming up until the root cause is changed.

Language is a symptom. They let the body know when something is wrong. You don’t wish to hide or get rid of symptoms. You should listen to them instead. What do they want to say about the way you’ve been living, eating, or thinking? What parts of your life might not be in balance? You might be able to look at symptoms this way. In that situation, you can do a lot more for your health than if you just ignored your symptoms and didn’t look into what was causing them.

Causes of Leaky Gut Syndrome

There are a lot of things that might induce leaky gut syndrome. Keep in mind that leaky gut syndrome is when small holes appear in the lining of your intestines. The lining of the intestines is a barrier that lets broken-down nutrients flow into the blood while keeping out germs, undigested food, and other pollutants.

These toxins can get into the bloodstream when there are holes in the lining of the intestines. The blood carries nutrition to all of the body’s tissues and organs. If there are poisons in the circulation, they will get to the organs and tissues. The liver is a good thing since it filters a lot of our blood. Poor eating and living habits can still hurt our liver function (but that’s a different matter).

Anything that makes small holes in the lining of the intestines might induce leaky gut syndrome. The most common reasons are:

• Poor diet: Eating items that are known to cause allergies and inflammation, like GMOs, processed oils, added sugars, synthetic food additives, regular dairy products, pesticide-grown fruit, and un-sprouted grains, might cause leaky gut.
• High toxic load: We come into contact with a lot of chemicals every day, and some people are more exposed to them than others because of their lifestyle and environment. Antibiotics, pesticides, tap water, aspirin, NSAIDs, and alcohol are some of the toxins that are most likely to cause leaky gut.
• Chronic stress: Stress is a big reason why people get sick, and it hurts the gut the most because that’s where a lot of the autonomic nervous system lives. Long-term stress can cause a number of health problems, such as leaky gut syndrome.
• Genetic predisposition: Some people are more likely to have a leaky gut because their genes make them more sensitive to environmental stimuli that drive their bodies to start autoimmune responses.
• Dysbiosis: An imbalance between good and bad bacteria in your gut can also lead to leaky gut syndrome. A substantial body of research shows that gut microbiota is vital in sustaining the intestinal lining and preventing autoimmune reactions.
• Candida overgrowth: When Candida cells start to produce hyphae, which are the long branches that grow out of the fungus, they can infect the cells in your intestinal lining. This causes inflammation and breaks down the membrane that keeps hazardous substances from leaking out. To learn more about this, see our article “How to Heal Leaky Gut & Candida Overgrowth.”

There isn’t just one cause of leaky gut syndrome. Instead, it’s more of an effect of inflammation in the stomach and the walls of the intestines become weaker. There are many causes that could cause this.

To find out what’s really causing a leaky gut, you need to look at all the things that could be making it worse. For instance, do you eat a lot of junk food or a lot of healthy food? Are you eating healthy or do you have bad eating habits like eating too much, too often, or not chewing your food well? Do you deal with a lot of stress? Do you have problems with your digestion? You need to think about all of these things.

Leaky Gut Syndrome Diet

There are a few different parts to the leaky gut syndrome diet that you should think about. The leaky gut diet helps with one of the main causes of leaky gut: inflammation. So, the leaky gut diet means eating more nutrients that fight inflammation and less those that are known to trigger it.

A real leaky gut diet will also have certain foods and nutrients that help mend the lining of the gut.

Keep in mind that a leaky gut diet doesn’t tell you to eat a certain way, like being vegetarian. Still, it tells you to cut out some items and add them to your diet, no matter what other meals you want to eat.

There are a few types of food that you should think about for the leaky gut diet, as we said above. First, you should make sure that your diet is balanced and full of nutrients, with lots of fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and protein.

With that in mind, here are the three primary types of foods to think about.
