Leaky Gut SyndromeYour intestinal wall has a mucosal lining and it is the function of this lining to be semi-permeable. Meaning that some things like vitamins and minerals are supposed to pass through. With (LGS) the lining of the digestive tract becomes inflamed or damaged. The spaces between the mucosal lining become abnormally large so that it now becomes like a wide open door and anything including toxins, undigested protein, and waste, can filter from your digestive tract into your blood supply. Because the immune system recognizes these larger molecules as foreign invaders, your body attacks it by forming antibodies. Unfortunately, these antibodies can’t always distinguish human tissue from those substances that pass across a permeable intestinal wall. Human tissue has antigenic sites very similar to those on foods, bacteria and fungi. Consequently, when an antibody is made to attack an antigen, it also attacks our tissue.An autoimmune disorder is when a person’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissue. Common Autoimmune Disorders and illnesses associated with LGS.
