Ten Things That Cause Leaky Gut - Primal Docs

Ten Things That Cause Leaky Gut - Primal Docs

Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, is a condition in which the lining of the small intestine becomes inflamed, damaged, and porous, allowing undigested foods, bacteria, fungus, and other foreign invaders into the sterile environment of the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream these toxins trigger the immune system, causing inflammation and leading to a long and varied list of symptoms. Chronic conditions associated with leaky gut include depression, joint pain, Crohn’s disease, food allergies, eczema, psoriasis, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and more.

Sounds repulsive but it is probably more common than we think.

From my overview of related material, I can gauge that probably the oils we consume are not that good for coating the intenstine properly.  Avoiding Omega-6 fatty acids vegetable oils and opting for coconut oil may be a way to significantly improve one's health.
