Leaky Gut Syndrome

In my reading journey I came across this chapter on line from a published book which I thought gave a very good description of leaky gut syndrome that I thought I would share with those interested:

"The gut is a major, potential portal of entry into the body for foreign antigens. Only its intact mucosal barrier protects the body from foreign antigen entry and systemic exposure."

That is a fantastic article. Thank you for posting. Now I wish I could find a health care professional who actually understands how to test for and treat food sensitivities! I am going to bring this to my next appointment.

It seems sort of like it's been abridged. And while I agree it's a good description of the basic condition, the constant shilling of products (OTC tests, natural products, etc.) reduces my overall rating of the website.

Also, I don't know that all the authors statements have been fully backed up in terms of connections to other diseases. Some of my reading may be out of date, though.

I wasn't intending for this to be taken as a definitive scholarly article, merely as a good description for newbies especially of the condition and how the transportation works and why it causes us so many problems. As for the advertising, I guess I am pretty much immune to it, but it's how even Scott pays his bills
