What is a leaky GUT? Leaky gut develops due to gaps between the cells (enterocytes) that make up the membrane lining of your intestinal wall. The tiny gaps allow substances such as undigested food, bacteria and metabolic wastes that should be confined to your digestive tract, to escape into your bloodstream. Once the integrity of your intestinal lining is compromised, and there is a flow of toxic substances “leaking out” into your bloodstream, your body experiences significant increases in inflammation. The gut inflammation can lead to food intolerances, which can lead to immune system problems and finally you can develop …

How stress affects the balance of bacteria in the gut and immune response
Stress can change the balance of bacteria that naturally live in the gut. These bacteria affect immune function, and may help explain why stress dysregulates the immune response. Exposure to stress leads to changes in composition, diversity and number of gut microorganisms. The bacterial communities in the intestine can become less diverse, and an increase in potentially harmful bacteria, such as Clostridium can be orchestrated.
