Guide To The Leaky Gut Diet

Leaky gut is believed to be a common problem caused by unknown factors and worsened by stress, alcohol, and a diet high in saturated fat and sugar but low in fiber. Leaky gut syndrome allows large particles like bacteria and partially digested food to escape the digestive system and enter the bloodstream where they can cause widespread inflammation and gastrointestinal problems. A leaky gut diet is designed to relieve symptoms of the condition and help heal the damaged intestinal lining. The diet focuses on foods rich in anti-inflammatories and fiber but low in refined sugar, processed foods, and preservatives.
