Functional Treatments For Leaky Guy
Normal gut flora contains small amounts of “bad” bacteria – bugs that can cause disease when we have an overgrowth of them. When you have higher amounts of unhealthy bacteria than healthy bacteria excessive gas can result and lead to bloating and belly pain. Your gut flora, your diet and the integrity of your intestinal lining determine the health of your gut.
When this lining is irritated, undigested food particles and other large molecules escape from the gut into the blood stream. The immune system reacts, sending white blood cells to attack them. This overactivity of the immune system can contribute to ailments like joint pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, Autism, Chron’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
In order to relieve your bloating and belly pain, it’s important to understand what can trigger it.
Factors such as imbalanced gut bacteria, stress, medications and even hormone imbalances can be potential triggers.
