Have you ever experienced digestive discomfort, bloating, fatigue, or even skin issues and wondered if they might be connected? These symptoms could be signs of a condition called “leaky gut.” At BB Aesthetic, we believe in addressing wellness from the inside out, and supporting your gut health is a key part of feeling and looking your best. Let’s dive into what leaky gut is, what causes it, and how we can help you take steps toward healing.
What is Leaky Gut?
Leaky gut, or “intestinal permeability,” occurs when the lining of your intestines becomes damaged or compromised. The gut lining is made up of tight junctions that are designed to keep harmful substances, like toxins and undigested food particles, out of your bloodstream. When these junctions loosen, harmful particles can “leak” through, potentially triggering inflammation and immune responses in the body.
Common symptoms of leaky gut include:
– Digestive issues like bloating, gas, or diarrhea
– Food sensitivities or allergies
– Fatigue or brain fog
– Skin problems such as eczema or acne
– Autoimmune conditions
What Causes Leaky Gut?
Several factors can contribute to the development of leaky gut, including:
– Poor diet: High-sugar, high-processed-food diets can damage the gut lining.
– Stress: Chronic stress affects gut health by disrupting the balance of gut bacteria.
– Medications: Overuse of NSAIDs, antibiotics, or other drugs can weaken the gut lining.
– Imbalanced gut microbiome: A lack of healthy gut bacteria can contribute to inflammation.
How Can You Support a Healthy Gut?
The good news is that with the right approach, you can take steps to repair and strengthen your gut lining:
1. Nutrition:Adopt a gut-friendly diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods, and eliminate triggers like gluten, dairy, or refined sugar.
2. Probiotics and Prebiotics: Incorporate beneficial bacteria and their fuel to support your microbiome.
3. Stress Management: Practice mindfulness, yoga, or other stress-reduction techniques.
4. Targeted Supplements: Collagen, L-glutamine, and omega-3s are known to help heal the gut lining.
