Leaky Gut Syndrome in Scottsdale AZ

Chronic Pain Scottsdale AZ Man With Stomach Pain

Your gut is exposed daily to food, microbes, and chemicals. Although it seems ‘inside,’ your gut is your body’s contact with the outside world! The GI tract works continuously to defend your body from unwanted substances. The gastrointestinal (GI) barrier is an intricate and selective barrier that controls and permits the absorption of helpful substances into the bloodstream while keeping out those that are harmful.

In healthy people, the barrier is tightly regulated, and allows only important nutrients to pass through the gut. This protects the body from harmful substances such as toxins, undigested food, and pathogens.

Constant exposure to unhealthy foreign substances can cause the walls of the intestines to become vulnerable to deterioration and permeability, a condition commonly referred to as Leaky Gut Syndrome in Scottsdale AZ. If these unwanted substances are allowed entry into the body, the body’s immune system goes into overdrive to attack the foreign invaders. This causes a vicious cycle of inflammation as the body works overtime to clear out unhealthy particles.


Leaky gut Syndrome - or Intestinal Permeability in Scottsdale AZ

Overworked immune systems become tired and overwhelmed. This allows toxins, pathogens, and chemicals to pass through into the bloodstream, where they can accumulate in cells, tissues, and organs. Accumulation of these particles, combined with an immune system in continuous overdrive, causes inflammation and other conditions such as Arthritis, Autoimmune Dysfunction, Chronic Pain, Inflammatory Bowl Disease, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Food Sensitivities, and Allergies.

Foreign substances traveling in the bloodstream may also cross the blood-brain barrier - a condition called Leaky Brain. Functional Medicine research is investigating connections between this cascade and the root causes of neurological conditions such as Parkinson's, MS, Dementia, Alzheimer's, ADHD, Depression, and more.
