Leaky Gut Syndrome affects the whole of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The increased permeability of the intestinal wall will allow for both essential and pathogenic causing bacterium and molecules to pass through the damaged epithelial walls of the intestines. This could lead to such conditions as IBS and IBD.
IBS or irritable bowel syndrome and IBD or inflammatory bowel disease are both disorders of the intestines’ permeability. These conditions could affect any part of the guts, the small intestines and the large intestines. This could be manifested with abdominal discomforts and pains including bloating, mucoid stools and irregular bowel habits. For some, it is a constant diarrhea after eating spicy foods. For the IBS, it could be exhibited as either diarrhea or constipations, or strangely, both.
The cause of IBS is usually ‘unknown.’ Fact of the matter is there is a chronic inflammatory condition that may affect the GI tract. However, the autoimmune response of the body is well understood and could be a cause of food allergies and over population of bacteria in the intestines like in the case of prolonged antibiotics use. There is also the hereditary angle wherein some people are just susceptible to the disease or condition.
Whatever the cause may be, the fact is that LGS can either cause IBS and IBD or is could be because of the two being there. They both affect the permeability of the intestinal wall and make it weak. This weakness will cause an inflammation and will result to more weakness.
In an effort to correct all of the three, the only possible and most effective therapy would be the use of a
Leaky Gut Syndrome treatment of Probiotics (live microorganisms that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found inside the GI tract) and a corrective diet which is designed to avoid inflammations through allergies or reactions to the spices and fats and oils.
