Leaky Gut

Definition of Leaky Gut

The intestine is a tubular organ that not only handles the digestion and absorption of nutrients but also houses 70% of the immune system, which is ready to react to friendly or harmful foods, either positively or negatively.

When your meals are high in foods that are difficult to digest for your intestine, it becomes inflamed and permeable, allowing poorly digested food particles to pass through, which can cause general inflammation.

A gluten-free diet is one that excludes any food or ingredient derived from cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, rice, sorghum, millet, and teff, as they contain gluten—a protein that can be difficult to digest for the intestine, where 70% of the immune system is located.

Wheat Gluten

Wheat gluten, or gliadin, is a protein that can cause damage to the intestine and trigger symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and extra-intestinal symptoms like fatigue, allergies, migraines, among others.

Chronic Diseases

Chronic diseases are long-term health disorders that generally progress slowly and persist over an extended period of time, with an inflammatory origin. These diseases can be either physical or mental in nature and may require ongoing management and long-term care.
