Leaky Gut Syndrome could be why you are feeling tired at times when you should be full of energy.
It could also be causing symptoms such as bloating, stomach cramps and general discomfort in the abdominal area.
Most of us know our bodies well enough to know when something isn’t quite right, and these symptoms may mean you are one of the world’s many leaky gut sufferers.
As well as the discomfort and fatigue, Medically Diagnosed Leaky gut Syndrome could be the cause of a wide range of serious chronic diseases including:
as well as conditions such as
WHAT IS LEAKY GUT SYNDROME
To be able to heal leaky gut syndrome, we need to understand what is causing it.
Our gut wall is designed, much like a fine net, to allow only small, digested food particles through its walls and into the bloodstream, to be carried to all parts of the body for healthy cell function.
Large particles and germs cannot pass through, unless the wall is damaged in some way.
If the wall is damaged, undigested food particles, bacteria, viruses and their toxic waste products can pass through it into the bloodstream and may trigger the immune system, causing persistent inflammation throughout the body, and possibly cause one of the conditions listed above.
WHY A LEAKY GUT MAY CAUSE TIREDNESS
Leaky Gut Syndrome Affects a number of of areas in the body not just the stomach.
Certain inflammatory compounds triggered by leaky gut are called cytokines and can be directly associated with fatigue.
If you have chronic fatigue syndrome, it may be the high levels of these immune cells produced by the body to fight toxins that are causing leaky gut syndrome and inflammation.
The severity of chronic fatigue symptoms has been found to directly correlate with blood levels of immune cells.
In a nutshell, the more your unhealthy gut bacteria permeates through your leaky gut, the greater will be your feelings of tiredness and chronic fatigue.
WHAT AGGRAVATES THE GUT
Well-known irritants of the gut wall are alcohol, over-use of antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Other factors that may damage the gut wall are stress, poor diet, and overgrowth of bacteria in the gut (SIBO).
STRESS
Chronic stress may be a factor in leaky gut syndrome.
POOR DIET
Processed food and refined sugar, the consumption of which has rocketed over the past few decades, are probably the main culprits.
The lack of enzymes in these foods means they are hard to break down, so they accumulate in the gut and may damage its walls.
SMALL INTESTINAL BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH (SIBO)
Every healthy gut is lined with bacteria, except for the first part of the small intestine.
This process is vital for digestion, during which they produce vitamins essential to the body.
SIBO is when abnormally large numbers of bacteria migrate up into the first part of the small bowel, giving off excessive amounts of toxins.
This may cause symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and possibly abdominal pain.
Any condition that interferes with muscular activity in the small intestine will allow bacteria to stay longer and multiply in the small intestine, causing SIBO, and or Crohn’s Disease.
If chronic, SIBO can affect digestion and food absorption, leading to tiredness and weight challenges.
WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
Preventing and easing leaky gut syndrome may be simpler than you think.
Changing a few things in your lifestyle, daily diet and adding some supplements may do the trick.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Any activity that reduces stress may help, whether it be meditation, yoga, exercise, or even taking a relaxing stroll and listening to music. Incorporating a relaxing activity into your daily routine can make all the difference to your gut health as well as your general well-being.
DIETARY CHANGES
Be sure to introduce foods into your diet that promote healing of the gut lining, as well as foods that prevent damage in the first place: (3) (4)
NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS
Although supplements such as digestive enzymes and amino acids are known help digestion and repair of the gut wall, there is also a variety of natural ones that may do the trick
Basically, listen to your body and don’t ignore symptoms.
Minor changes in your daily life may make huge changes to your general well-being, especially if you want to regain your energy.
