There are few food items that have to be removed from the dietary plans while treating Leaky gut. The first and the foremost food particle is the wheat or the gluten. Gluten is naturally found in grains like wheat, barley, rye, teff and spelt. Intolerance to gluten does not only result in gastro-intestinal problems, it also creates a low grade inflammatory response which last for over 12 to 24 hours. Over a period of time this food might break down the intestinal lining which results in leaking gut and leaves the individual vulnerable to diseases.
Pasteurized Dairy products like milk and cheese are also major food items that cause intestinal damage. There is also evidence that there is a link between intestinal damage and lactose intolerance. The major side effect of intestinal damage is the loss of the ability to digest lactose. Although soy and tofu are advertised as food items which are rich in protein there are many people who are intolerant to soy. The soy naturally contains several toxins. The food processing company in turn uses many more chemicals to process the soy. This contains nutrient inhibitors that prevent the human system to absorb vitamins and minerals. There is also a proven fact that the soy can depress the thyroid functioning, lead to infertility and increase breast cancer.
White table salt is different from the naturally occurring salt. It is a compilation of processed chemicals which resembles real salt and that creates inflammation in the digestive tract. Food that contains artificial sweeteners also causes leaky gut syndrome symptoms. Artificial sweeteners mimic the sweetness of sugar but are really the carriers of many synthetic chemicals.
