Leaky Gut Syndrome, the Villain Behind Allergy/Sensitivity, and How Do You Know If You Have It
A porous intestinal lining, or Leaky Gut, allows food molecules, that would normally be too large, to pass through the intestinal lining. Once these abnormally large molecules get through, they trigger a natural defense reaction whereby the body builds antibodies to identify the larger molecule as an invader, and attack it. The result of this antigen/antibody reaction is what we call an allergy/sensitivity, and any tissue in the body can express an allergy/sensitivity. Leaky Gut Syndrome creates a cascade of events that results in increasingly more allergy/sensitivities.
