Your body’s gastrointestinal lining replenishes itself approximately every three days. If this does not happen correctly, digestive problems can occur. One major problem is often referred to as leaky gut. Leaky gut is one of the most commonly undiagnosed problems in today’s modern world. It can present itself as a variety of symptoms. These can change as your body’s repair systems race from one problem to the next. Leaky gut can even affect your mood by causing agitation, aggression and anxiety.

Most researchers now believe that up to 90 percent of all diseases and health issues begin in the gastrointestinal tract, which is susceptible to many forms of attack, including bacterial and viral infections.

Factors that can lead to damage of your gut lining include long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, excessive alcohol consumption, eating large amounts of refined foods, and overusing pharmaceutical drugs including inflammatory steroids.

When your gut’s permeable membrane is breached, undigested food particles leak through the membrane and cause your body’s filter – your liver – to work extremely hard to remove toxins. Your liver can, at times, get blocked up with the overload.

When your body becomes compromised and your liver is no longer able to remove these toxins, your body will resort to using your skin to remove the toxic material. Tell-tale signs such as skin irritations, headaches and bad body odour can start to appear, which signal your body’s attempt to rid itself of waste.
