We support a wide range of chronic autoimmune conditions, from inflammatory bowel disease to Sjogren’s Syndrome. Many, if not all, originate in the gut, and leaky gut syndrome contributes to worsening autoimmune symptoms. Read on to learn more about the signs of leaky gut syndrome and how our autoimmune specialists help find solutions so that you can reach your health goals.
What is leaky gut?
Leaky gut syndrome refers to your intestine’s permeability, or the ability to allow particles to pass through the digestive lining into your bloodstream. This gut barrier is supposed to protect your body from harmful toxins, blocking their path into the bloodstream; however, a leaky gut occurs when the digestive tract lining is weakened and unwanted substances are allowed to pass through, resulting in uncomfortable, frustrating symptoms. There are many possible culprits of leaky gut, from a diet filled with dairy, gluten, and processed foods to hormonal shifts, cortisol levels, certain medications, insulin resistance, and neurologic factors.
Signs of Leaky Gut Syndrome
So now you know what leaky gut is, how exactly can it manifest? Here are a few of the common signs of leaky gut syndrome:
- Gas, bloating
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Skin rashes, irritation
- Joint pain
- Low energy
If you have any of these chronic symptoms or are also struggling with an autoimmune condition, help is available! You don’t have to suffer alone with these symptoms because you have options when it comes to getting answers and support- that’s where we come in!
Gut Wellness at Dr. Autoimmune
Nutrition and lifestyle modifications are two means of autoimmune support that we provide. We refuse to prescribe prescription medications as just a band-aid to mask your symptoms. Instead, we do a deep dive through your medical history, family history, current and past symptoms, lifestyle, and more in order to create a plan to give you some relief from your symptoms.
One of the other ways we support chronic inflammation and autoimmune conditions is through purposeful supplementation. Our thorough consultation process ensures that we identify the root problem and create personalized solutions that will be the most effective for your body. A specific regimen that many have benefited from is our Leaky Gut Trio, which contains the following high-quality supplements:
- Gut Power - contains Betaine Hydrochloride and Zinc Carnosine designed to enhance digestion and nutrient absorption, reduce intestinal inflammation, and give your immune system a much-needed boost.
- Prebio Power - a guar gum prebiotic supplement containing a highly absorbable form of fiber that supports optimal digestion and growth of healthy gut bacteria.
- Immuno Power - T regulatory cells function within the immune system and are key for regulating natural inflammatory responses. The vitamins, probiotics, and other nutrients in this supplement encourage T-cell activation and provide all-around immune support.
