Leaky Gut Syndromes: Breaking the Vicious Cycle

....The Four Vicious Cycles

Cycle One: Allergy
The relationship between food sensitivities and the leaky gut is complex and circular. Children and adults with eczema, urticaria or asthma triggered by atopic food allergy have baseline permeability measurements that are higher than control levels.

Following exposure to allergenic foods, permeability sharply increases. Most of this increase can be averted by pre-treatment...

...Cycle Two: Malnutrition
Disruption of desmosomes increases absorption of macromolecules. If the epithelial cells themselves are damaged, a decrease in trans-cellular absorption may accompany the increased para-cellular absorption...
