Beginners Guide To Probiotics For Leaky Gut

Book excerpt: Leaky gut syndrome is a hypothetical condition caused by increased intestinal permeability. It's associated with increased intestinal permeability - microscopic gaps in the intestinal walls that make it easier for bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles to pass through the intestinal walls into your bloodstream.However, mainstream physicians do not recognize leaky gut syndrome as a medical diagnosis, as there is currently little evidence that increased intestinal permeability is a serious health problem in and of itself.Increased intestinal permeability occurs alongside chronic diseases like celiac disease and type 1 diabetes. However, it's more likely to be a symptom of these diseases, rather than a cause. That said, there are plenty of steps you can take to improve your digestive health."Probiotics help your body stay healthy by replacing or eliminating the bad bacteria with good one.

Probiotics can also modify our body's pH; the proper pH level will reduce the ability of pathogens to settle and it is of crucial importance for maintaining perfectly good health
