Leaky gut – when the small intestine doesn’t hold tight
Leaky gut – when the small intestine doesn’t hold tight Unlike the large intestine, the small intestine lacks a protective mucus layer, making it more sensitive—especially when there’s bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine (SIBO). This allows bacteria and toxins to more easily come into direct contact with the intestinal wall and activate immune receptors on the intestinal cells. This can trigger inflammation, which may cause the gut wall to suddenly allow substances to pass through that would normally be kept out. This condition is known as leaky gut. An Overview of Leaky Gut How does leaky gut develop? Causes of leaky gut What happens in the body with leaky gut? Understand the mechanism Signs of leaky gut Local & […]
SIBO – Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
SIBO – when the intestinal flora ends up in the wrong place Most of the bacteria in our gut flora naturally reside in the large intestine, where they help break down dietary fibers. In this process, substances important for our health are produced. The large intestine also has two protective mucus layers that prevent bacteria and toxins from penetrating the intestinal wall and entering the body. However, when these bacteria proliferate upstream and travel to the small intestine, it leads to a condition called SIBO. Quick overview How does SIBO develop? Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth – occurs when bacteria that are normally confined to the large intestine begin to proliferate in the small intestine. How does SIBO affect our […]
