Your gut lining is a single-cell thick wall that allows nutrients to pass through to your bloodstream while keeping toxins out. Poor diet, gut inflammation, candida overgrowth, and imbalances in the gut microbiome create holes in the gut lining.

Toxins leaking into the bloodstream get distributed throughout the body and can impact the health of major organs and tissues. The food particles that pass through are seen as pathogens to the immune system. The immune system then creates antibodies that attack these food particles whenever they enter the body. This can cause food allergies and sensitivities that you never had before.

Gut permeability can contribute to many health problems, including:
