In today’s blog post we want to address the question: Do you have a leaky gut?

This is a fairly new term for a medical condition called intestinal permeability. Some doctors, and medical organizations like the Canadian Society of Intestinal Research, believe this is a myth created by “alternative medicine practitioners.”

According to them “most physicians maintain that there is not enough research to prove that it is a legitimate issue.”

Then there is the Harvard Medical School that acknowledges this issue and states:

“. . . there is growing interest to develop medications that may be used in patients to combat the effects of this problem.”

Dr. Marcelo Campos, MD posted on September 22, 2017 an article for the Harvard Medical School. It was titled “Leaky gut: What is it, and what does it mean for you?” Here are two paragraphs from his article: Read More →

What Does It Mean to Have a Leaky Gut

While the medical community does not recognize a leaky gut as a major contributing factor to all sorts of health issues, there is a growing body of science showing how a leaky gut, or what is called intestinal permeability, is wreaking havoc on people’s health.

This health concern is not new.

In fact, Hippocrates recognized it when he stated,

“All Disease Begins In The Gut.”

Ideally, your intestine is designed to be a very selective barrier to everything you consume. It does this by creating what are known as “tight junctions.” As you can see in the below image created by Dr. Vincent Pedre for Happy Gut, these tight junctions are loosened so that undigested food particles, toxins, and pathogens can enter your blood stream.
