Leaky gut syndrome is a condition characterized by increased intestinal permeability, where the lining of the intestines becomes damaged, allowing harmful substances like toxins, bacteria, and undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation and immune responses, potentially leading to various health issues, including food sensitivities, autoimmune disorders, and digestive problems.
Probiotics and a diet rich in fiber and fermented foods may help support gut health and repair the intestinal lining, potentially alleviating symptoms associated with leaky gut syndrome. However, more research is needed to fully understand this condition and its implications for overall health.
