You’ve probably heard of a health condition called leaky gut syndrome, a medically unrecognized, but still very real health challenge. It involves leaks, literal leaks, in the intestine that allow incompletely digested food as well as toxins, allergens and bacteria to enter into the circulation and initiate immune system reactions, within the blood and ultimately into body tissues. Once this occurs it’s a short jump to almost all health challenges most especially chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, neurological issues, including migraines and movement disorders, and many skin
diseases. To patch up a leaky gut is critical to eliminate problem foods. Using apple cider vinegar and digestive enzymes with meals can help. So can bone broth powder, gelatin and aloe vera gel. The minerals zinc and amino acid glutamine can be beneficial and, because good bacteria play a key role in strengthening the intestine, nothing is more important than a good probiotic supplement for improving intestinal health, as well as the bodily symptoms of a leaky gut.
