Intestinal Dysbiosis

Intestinal dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the composition of the gut microbiota, meaning the quantity and diversity of microorganisms that live in our intestines. This imbalance can be caused by various factors, such as poor diet, excessive use of antibiotics, stress, among others.

Leaky Gut

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

Gluten-Free Diet

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.
