As if dealing with PCOS was rotten enough,but I have got something called Leaky gut syndrome,which has lead to multiple food intolerances,chemical sensitivity,yeast and overgrowth of nasty bacteria in my colon....THE IBS IS intense...im so miserable! I am hoping there is a soul cyster out there that knows what im talking about and has some advice.
The leaky gut (or LGS) is a poorly recognised but extremely common problem. It is rarely tested for. Essentially, it represents a hyperpermeable intestinal lining. In other words, large spaces develop between the cells of the gut wall, and bacteria, toxins and food leak in. The official definition is an increase in permeability of the intestinal mucosa to luminal macromolecules, antigens and toxins associated with inflammatory degenerative and/or atrophic mucosal damage.
Chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia and escalating food allergies are among the many problems caused by the leaky gut.
