Leaky Gut Syndrome

[Guest guest]

Kim,

The tissues lining the gut when normal act as a semipermiable membrane.

The gut lining can malfunction in two ways, one is when nothing is

absorbed and secondly when everything is absorbed. A normal gut is

selective in what it will allow to pass into the bloodstream and a

malfunctioning gut deviates from this selectivity. Glutamine is a key

nutrient for normalizing gut function.

Thanks Dennis,

What are the symptoms of leaky gut syndrome?

.. Glutamine is a key

nutrient for normalizing gut function.

Another good thing for this problem is slippery elm bark, powdered, take a

spoonful and mix with enough water to make a sort of gruel, like oatmeal,

and eat it twice a day. It is very soothing and rebuilding of the

intestines.

This article comes from JRA last year:

Hope it helps,

Leaky-Gut Syndrome May Play A Role In Arthritis

http://arthritis.about.com/health/arthritis/library/weekly/aa111897.htm

Some researchers claim that leaky-gut syndrome, or increased intestinal

permeability, is implicated in dozens of diseases. The syndrome is the

result of the wall of the small intestine being damaged. A healthy

intestine allows only nutrients to pass into the bloodstream. When the

intestine is damaged, larger molecules such as incompletely digested

fats, proteins, starches, and even bacteria, also permeate the

intestinal wall.

The larger molecules, recognized by the body as foreign substances, can

trigger an immune response in other organs. Some researchers claim that

healing a leaky gut with strict diet and nutritional supplements can

help control conditions such as insomnia, obesity, bad breath, as well

as a wide range of diseases including asthma, eczema, and arthritis.

Many researchers agree that the intestinal tract is a key player in the

immune system, but whether or not the gut is the root of so many

problems is still the subject of hot debate.

The small intestine is a convoluted, 25-foot tube between the stomach

and the large intestine. Its lining is comprised of millions of villi,

or leaflike structures, which in turn are covered with millions of

microvilli. The villi and microvilli harbor bacteria and yeast, which

normally maintain a healthy balance and help to carry out the main

function of the intestine which is to break down food into nutrients

which the body can use, and to move along waste and harmful substances

to the bowel. Most of the potentially dangerous material a human

encounters is in food, therefore the gut's immune function is crucial.

Researchers now estimate that more than two thirds of all immune

activity occurs in the gut.

In some people the wall of the gut seems to have been breached.

Researchers are unsure how these microscopic breaches occur but possible

causes include food allergies, excessive amounts of aspirin or

ibuprofen, certain antibiotics, excessive drinking, a compromised immune

system, or a parasitic infection.

Leaky-gut syndrome is not a disease itself but is thought to play a role

in other diseases. Allowing undigested food or bacteria into the

bloodstream causes the immune system to react. As this occurs the body

reacts in a number of ways such as rash, diarrhea, migraines, joint

pain, and even psychological symptoms. These problems can add up to a

disorder which has no obvious relation to the original cause.

Until a few decades ago, the theory was that unless a medical problem

directly affected the gut, it worked normally. Now physicians know that

trauma to other parts of the body causes the gut to react. One

researcher, Leo Galland M.D., estimates that the syndrome plays a role

in 70 percent of people with chronic fatigue syndrome, eight out of 10

aspirin or ibuprofen users, most alcoholics, and anyone who is

hospitalized. Galland also believes that parasites that can lead to

leaky-gut syndrome lurk in most municipal water systems.

One common prescription for leaky-gut syndrome is an elimination diet. A

series of urine and blood tests is used to assess food allergies. Based

on the results of the tests, whole categories of food such as dairy

products or wheat products, are eliminated and added back over time as

the patient is monitored for reactions. Strict elimination diets should

be used only under close medical supervision, otherwise malnutrition can

result.

The nutritional mainstay, fiber, may also play a role in healing

problems of the gut. A National Institute of Health funded study from

Louisiana State University indicated that rats who ate no fiber had

abnormal intestinal linings. Other research shows that glutamine, a

nonessential amino acid, also plays a role in maintaining the integrity

of the intestinal wall.

To conclude from available research that leaky-gut syndrome is

widespread, treatable, and the cause of all sorts of problems is a jump

scientists and most doctors are unwilling to make. The gut and glutamine

are definitely hot areas of current and ongoing research. It is

recognized though that care and maintenance of the gut makes sense in

any case.

Does anybody have any info on something called " leaky gut syndrome " ? Also a

friend read where parafin (wax) dips are helping pain in hands and feet. Anybody

tried?

Thanks,

Funny Donna,

Actually I have started taking a colostrum supp (from New Zealand,

not Immunetree though) on your high recommendations of it. Since

taking it I have started to get leaky butt syndrome, which I haven't

had in 4 years.

Donna says colostrum heals.

And Donna, thank you for confirming what I've been hearing (still small voice)

for the last three days that I need to add to my health regime. I've taken

Immune Tree before and not known what to look for as benifits, so not sure it

worked or not. Not really downplaying it, but I want dearly to try New Zeland

colostrum. I have a whole paper on it with many articles and testimonies. I

think it will be my missing nutritional link. I'm doing lotsof good things,

among them wheat grass juice, PD, Homozon...gallbladder/liver cleasing and

flushing to get out gallstones which I didn 't know I had, but most of us do.

Here is the web site: http://www.nutrilife.net/colostrum.htm I'll give you all

a report on what I think after I start taking it. Anyone else know about New

Zeland colosterum? or colosterum in general. I meant to post about this (I'm

still new here only a few weeks), but been really thinking about this the last 3

days. Thanks Donna! of Dewberry Hill

Hi . I have had a number of people tell me they tried the New Zealand

stuff and were not impressed. In fact they were dissappointed. It is not pure

colostrum and is alot weaker. Immune Trees is just as clean as the NZ stuff

also. It is organic, hormone free, pesticide free and antibiotic free and from

cows that are grass and grain fed.

Hope that helps.

Oh No!!! Frown. I am so sorry. I have had a number of people using other

brands like the New Zealand stuff say the same thing. There is just too much

milk in it. If you send me your address, I will send you a bulk powder sample

of the Immune Tree stuff and see if you have the same problem.

How much of the NZ stuff did you take? Is it caps or powder?

Hang in there,

Donna

That is a great detailed writup!

I have one thing to add ... Dr. Fasano has been doing a fair bit of work in

this area and has identified a hormone that makes the gut leaky *even if it

isn't inflamed*. This sheds a whole new light on the issue. The hormone gets

produced in response to certain chemical stimuli, and it allows rogue

undigested proteins to enter the blood.

The weirder part is that this hormone also triggers the blood/brain barrier

to leak, which likely accounts for some of the " mental " issues that

accompany the gut issues.

He has developed a drug to counteract this hormone, which so far, appears to

work nicely in lab animals.

And he has shown (in vitro) at least two triggers for the hormone. The

triggers apparently cause the hormone to be produced in all human beings,

but some people recover (close up) faster than others.

If you are interested in reading about it there has been a fair amount

written. Google " Fasano zonulin " .

Thank you! Great confirmation of how I suspected my myriad

sensitivities, as a celiac, developed. My list is insane!

[Guest guest]

You are welcome! ... the good news is ... the secondary stuff tends to

*heal*.I'll probably never be totally normal, but life is good again and I

can eat almost anything (except gluten and casein, which I just

decided are from another planet). A couple of years ago I was

figuring I'd have to be a Breatharian!

Hi,

Over the years, I have belonged to several online support groups (fibro, hep c, cfs, ibs/ibd and a couple of others) and the one thing that every group had in common was gastrointestinal problems. It seemed like a real link to all of my disorders and to those that most folks in those groups seemed to have.

I first learned about celiac/gluten and eliminated those foods from my diet. I felt so much better, but I still had stomach upset and was finally tested for food allergy/intolerance via IGG food panel testing. Found that I have problems with dairy, nuts, yeast and most shellfish as well as gluten, so I eliminated them as well. At about the same time that I had the IGG testing done, I started on LDN. The improvement to my ibd/ibs, fibro and liver have been remarkable since I learned as much as I could about leaky gut syndrome and started on the LDN.

Leaky gut has been linked to just about every disorder. This site has great info about it:

http://www.leakygut.co.uk/index.htm

"The symptoms of Leaky Gut Syndrome are many and varied and include: abdominal pain, heartburn, insomnia, bloating, anxiety, gluten intolerance, malnutrition, muscle cramps and pains, poor exercise tolerance, food allergies.

Leaky Gut Syndrome has also been linked with many conditions, such as: Celiac Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Autism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Eczema, Dermatitis, Ulcerative Colitis."

I hope this helps explain why diet is crucial to our health!

If you can find some high quality farm fresh raw milk kefir or raw goat milk

kefir from a trusted source (realmilk.com), and drink at least a bottle of that

a day it would greatly help her quickly, though at the beginning the detox from

that would probably equate to diarrhea.

[Guest guest]

Hi it could be thyroid. It regulates not only the digestive system but all the orifices to the body. Depression is also linked. The two main indicators are: frequent stools = low adrenals, constipation = low thyroid. Look for the linked hormones in SPORTS THERAPY and on MAIN INDEX. If you need any further help please e-mal me direct at mail@..., good luck Sue

LEAKY GUT SYNDROME

Hello,

I have a client with leaky gut syndrome. She is allergic to everything. Imagine, in this moment she only can eat meat! This is terrible for her intestines.

She also suffers of depression, I"m almost sure that it"s because of the bad nutrients absorption.

How can I help her? Any idea? Testimonies with SCIO therapy ?

Thanks in advanced.

Greetings, Many folks suffer from LGS to a degree. One of the things that Prof.

has told us about are the rules for digestion. Food like vegetables seem

to make the gut work/exercise hard for those that don't eat many vegetables.

Most folks today don't get enough raw organic vegetable fiber and so when they

eat it they may get gas or feel uncomfortable. Everyone is different in this

fractal system. Some things that may help; avoid wheat and substitute rice or

other non gluten starches. As well consider a good fatty acid supplement. The

SCIO it self may not help much compared to being ware of the related stress and

avoiding them. http://timholmes.byregion.net
