Leaky Gut
Leaky gut, also known as 'intestinal permeability', refers to increased intestinal permeability, allowing unwanted particles to pass into the bloodstream and trigger inflammation or immune reactions.
Leaky gut refers to increased intestinal permeability, a process in which the gut lining becomes less effective at regulating what passes into the bloodstream. This may contribute to inflammation, immune activation, and a wide range of systemic symptoms.
Functional medicine evaluation often considers gut lining integrity, microbial balance, nutrient status, and inflammatory triggers when assessing this pattern.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
—Psalm 147:3
