Those who regularly take any of the drugs listed previously would very likely suffer from the syndrome whether they've been diagnosed with it or not. People with digestive problems (with or without symptoms) will probably have an underlying leaky gut condition, as will people who routinely use large amounts of alcohol and caffeine, and those who eat a diet that is high in refined carbohydrates and chemical food additives, which is, unfortunately, the Standard American Diet (SAD). What Are the Signs and Symptoms? The long-term net result of leaky gut syndrome is the likely development of autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own in the body—in the joints, brain, lungs, blood vessels or gut—a variety of chronic illnesses can develop as a result. Other disorders associated with leaky gut include eczema, psoriasis, pancreatic insufficiency, candidiasis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), multiple chemical sensitivities and even heart disease. Leaky gut can aggravate existing conditions as well, for it can give rise to such symptoms as: • Fatigue • Joint pain • Muscle pain • Fever • Abdominal discomfort • Diarrhea • Skin rashes • Memory deficit • Shortness of breath BOTTOM LINE Leaky gut syndrome is the crux of all the conditions in this book. When the gut is imbalanced and inflamed, the integrity of the intestinal lining breaks down. This allows toxins, pathogens and undigested food particles to enter into the bloodstream which triggers an immune response involving yet more inflammation and a dysregulation of the immune system. All these factors contribute to the development of many different chronic diseases. Leaky gut syndrome is a major part of the gut connection to so many health conditions that affect the rest of the body. I cannot stress enough the importance of rebuilding the gut lining. The gut lining needs to be intact so that the beneficial bacteria can adhere to it properly, creating the proper defense against invading pathogens and toxins, and being able to communicate with the immune system, which is connected to the gut lining. If this gut protection system is not in place, chronic and recurrent health conditions will develop. Reducing toxic exposure is of prime importance in preventing and reversing leaky gut syndrome. Both exotoxins (from the outside environment) and endotoxins (produced inside the body by bacteria and poor digestive conditions) can contribute to leaky gut. Eliminating these toxins, maintaining regular elimination, and healing the intestinal lining are key steps in healing a leaky gut.
