Irritable Bowel Syndrome and LGS
It may surprise you to discover that substances moving through your gastrointestinal tract can be considered to be outside your body. The reason for this is that in addition to absorbing the nutrients you need, your intestine also serves as barrier that keeps waste material from invading the rest of your body, particularly the bloodstream.
However, your intestinal lining may become compromised and therefore unable to properly absorb nutrients and play its role as a safety barrier. Leaky gut syndrome, or increased intestinal permeability, is what this condition is called.
So you can see how important the intestine is to maintaining health, and therefore why it’s necessary to do all you can to keep it functioning properly. Unfortunately, you can still be afflicted with digestive issues even if you follow healthy practices, such as exercise and proper diet. Specifically, leaky gut syndrome can result from other factors.
So what are these factors?
A leaky gut may result for any of a variety of reasons, including: NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen), surgical trauma, food allergies, and certain harmful species of bacteria. Moreover, processed foods, proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole, and antibiotics can damage the lining of the intestine. So, even though you may be eating healthily, your intestinal lining may still become inflamed and damaged.
The increased intestinal permeability that characterizes leaky gut syndrome allows undigested food particles, toxins, and bacteria to escape into your bloodstream. Once there, your body mounts an immune response against these escaped substances, which it regards as invaders. Food sensitivities, food allergies, irritation, and inflammation are all the results, and may lead to other chronic health conditions.
Other conditions that commonly result from LGS are: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, infection with Candida albicans, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac’s, Chron’s Disease, allergies to certain foods, and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).
If you are suffering from a stubbornly persistent issue with your health, you would likely benefit from taking steps to improve your intestine’s health. Many health care providers strongly urge maintaining a healthy colon as a fundamental part of your overall health.
What can you do to improve the health of your colon?
-Begin a diet that is specifically geared toward healing and preserving your intestine and its lining.
-See a health care provider to determine whether or not you are experiencing an infection with pathogenic organisms.
-Undertake an elimination diet to identify what foods sensitivities you may have, and explore the possibility of food allergies with your doctor.
-Begin a regiment of natural treatment to support the lining of your intestine.
It is important to understand that, while leaky gut syndrome is a serious condition that can lead to other serious conditions, it is completely treatable. In fact, you can treat it yourself with simple changes to your diet and other natural treatments.
