Has the link to the leaky gut and autoimmune disease become additional clear? I feel it has and researchers from Canada have helped by a nice review on intestinal permeability within the British journal Gut.
Dr. J. B. Medding and his colleagues in Edmonton, Alberta Canada (Arrieta, Gut, 2006) describe how the intestine is a barrier when traditional however becomes a supply of the genesis of autoimmune diseases when it becomes abnormally permeable. That's, when your gut becomes leaky ("the leaky gut syndrome") many autoimmune diseases are known to occur.
Intestinal permeability (how leaky the gut has become) can be evaluated in a manner specific to numerous sites in the gut. That's, the various areas of the gut, from abdomen to giant intestine, can be evaluated by specific tests for leakiness and related to break and disease in those areas. Areas of leaky gut will be observed prior to the onset of disease and seem to be involved in the development of disease, especially autoimmune diseases like Celiac disease, diabetes, Crohn's disease, and skin diseases like atopic dermatitis, rheumatologic conditions, and even irritable bowel syndrome.
The authors propose a new paradigm consisting of "3 main features...
(one) A genetically vulnerable immune system (the mucosal immune system), that enables the host to react abnormally to an environmental antigen.
(a pair of) An environmental product that triggers the disease process.
(three) The ability for the environmental agent to interact with the mucosal immune system. Since the purpose of the epithelial barrier is to stay these 2 factors separate, and we live this function of the barrier by permeability, the corollary of this is that a rise in permeability is a demand for disease expression."
What does this mean in lay terms and in relationship to the concept of the leaky gut syndrome? The gut or intestine is supposed to be a barrier to foreign proteins like foods and bacteria. If your immune system is genetically predisposed to react adversely to a certain food proteins and/or bacteria in your gut (or nerves, skin or joints) you may react with activation of damaging chemicals intended to shield you from foreign invaders that instead harm your gut making it a lot of leaky and more vulnerable as well as your nerves, skin, and joints.
Leaky gut begets leaky gut. What results is a lot of harm to your gut. Food and bacterial proteins can act together to wreck the gut and allow toxic protein complexes to get through the gut that is normally presupposed to be resistant to such a breach. Once in your blood stream, foreign proteins might initiate abnormal reactions that cause irritation to your brain, nerves, skin and/or joints.
What many of you and I expertise then are symptoms like abdominal pain and bloating, gas, diarrhea, headaches, nerve pain, skin rashes and joint aches. The diagnoses that result are Celiac disease, Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, migraines, attention deficit, autism, depression, eczema, acne, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetes, chronic fatigue etc. etc.
What really considerations some of us with personal and skilled expertise with this and who are passionately curious about this area is that there is an explosion of autoimmune diseases occurring right beneath our nose however most doctors and lay public are missing the connection. Many folks are being diagnosed with multiple conditions without anyone creating the affiliation of the overload of our gut with sure foods that will be causing abundant of these illnesses. All of the problem foods have specific food proteins or lectins that are difficult to digest and doubtless toxic to the gut. In explicit if the food has been genetically engineered or changed their lectins may be a lot of toxic to humans. Keep tuned for additional on this exciting space, as I continue writing on the link of food, gut and disease. As your food doctor, the food doc, I hope to assist you find the data you need to eat right to feel right whether or not your doctors are not making the connection.
