Is Your Gut Healthy?

The gut is constantly exposed to food, microbes and chemicals the GI track must work continuously to defend itself from these unwanted substances that, if allowed entry into the body, can cause a vicious cycle of inflammation. The constant exposure to 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.
