Hi Friend!
What is Leaky Gut?
The term “leaky gut” comes from the idea that the gut, when damaged, becomes semi-permeable. This means that the lining in the intestines can lose its integrity and let things such as food particles, waste, bacteria, etc… leak out into the blood stream. The body must then respond to this foreign matter by mounting an immune response.
What Causes Leaky Gut?

How to Heal Your Gut for Beautiful Skin
Remove
Replace
Once you have removed the culprits, replace them with organic fruits and veggies, wild fish, and grass fed beef. Some people may be able to tolerate raw dairy.
It is a good idea to talk to a health care practitioner about adding digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid to help break down food. Leaky gut will affect how well you process your food and you’ll want to make sure you are getting as many of the nutrients from these good foods as possible.
