The main symptoms of leaky gut will be
abdominal discomfort, bloating, constipation, gas, indigestion, pancreatic
insufficiency and food intolerances. However, they can easily also be
respiratory issues like allergies, asthma, rhinitis or shortness of breath.
Other very common signs that you may have leaky gut syndrome is arthritis,
eczema, psoriasis, acne, recurrent bladder infections, unexplained fatigue,
chronic muscle or joint pains, and nervousness or anxiety.
This is one of the reasons why each time that
I have a client that comes to me with rheumatoid arthritis or asthma, for
example, I investigate the health of their digestive system first and foremost.
When I address any of the above with functional medicine, my first line
of action is not dealing directly with the arthritis or with the asthma, but
dealing with increased gut permeability before anything.
Once I get the results back from the lab, I
can then devise a comprehensive and advanced strategy involving and
anti-inflammatory diet that involves removal of offending foods and other
toxins, and addition of potent healing foods that help in healing the gut
lining; targeted nutrients to support healing of this injured gut mucosa, like
cabbage juice, Zinc, quercetin and L-Glutamine in therapeutic doses; good
bacteria that promotes a healthy immune response, like probiotics (L.Plantarum)
and prebiotics like FOS (fructooligosaccharides); potent anti-inflammatory
agents like curcumin, aloe vera, and colostrum, all in therapeutic doses. I
also make sure that my client is digesting her foods properly and if there’s
the need (I see this in the lab tests’ results), I prescribe hydrochloric acid
(HCL), pancreatic enzymes, and bile.
Stress management and yoga with pranayama
(which alkalizes the intestinal environment) are also part of my lifestyle
prescriptions for leaky gut syndrome.
