Though it’s strange to think that the gut is the core of our health, it’s an accurate statement for several reasons. It is not far-fetched to think that some things can go wrong in the body. When it does, the team at Park Cities ChiroSport can help you recover and get back on track.

What Is Leaky Gut and Why Is It an Issue?

A leaky gut occurs when you have tiny holes in your intestinal lining. All the bacteria in your gut leak through and end up in your bloodstream. Specific bacteria unique to the intestines are harmless but cause headaches, digestive issues, and fibromyalgia if absorbed into the blood.

How Leaky Gut Is Treated 

The first step in treating this syndrome is for your chiropractor to seal the lining of your intestines. Once the lining is sealed, the next step is to clean it, a process referred to as Clear Debris. This is achieved through detoxification. During the process, your intestines will be freed of the harmful particles that get into it. Microbes, toxins, and any inflammatory agents are removed. 

The last step to leaky gut relief is to replace the toxins with good bacteria. It also involves ensuring that the proper amount of acid is found in your stomach. Having the proper amount means that your body will have an easier time absorbing the nutrients you put into it.

While probiotics are an important part of the recovery process, other factors are as well. Prebiotics are just as important, along with proper nutrition and reducing the amount of sugars and fats you consume. 

Addressing leaky gut syndrome requires a multi-step process that a chiropractic wellness team can guide you through. This process focuses on sealing the lining, detoxifying your system, and then rebuilding it to achieve a healthy balance.
