Leaky Gut Symptoms and Stages of Development
Most people have a hard time wrapping their heads around how there can be so many different and completely unrelated Leaky Gut symptoms.
And that’s the primary reason why so many people don’t make the connection with Leaky Gut and their own health problems until everything else has failed.
I’m going to walk you through the stages of Leaky Gut and how it develops and if you can relate to this then I encourage you to take your health into your own hands and seek Leaky Gut treatment before it continues to progress any further.
The Initial Onset of Leaky Gut Symptoms
In the early stages of Leaky Gut, the inflammation that is occurring within your digestive tract is beginning to cause significant damage to your intestinal lining. And as your intestinal lining becomes damaged, you begin to lose the ability to produce certain enzymes necessary to digest and absorb your food.
Couple this with a poor diet and your partially undigested food now begins to feed the bad bacteria in your gut which are then given the opportunity to overgrow and take over leading to many of the initial Leaky Gut symptoms.
Initial Leaky Gut Symptoms
- Intestinal Gas
- Bloating
- Constipation
- Depression
- Gum Disease
- Heartburn
- Diarrhea
At this stage of the progression, it’s typically not severe enough to warrant much concern so these initial symptoms are easily ignored. However, at this stage, simple Leaky Gut Syndrome diet modifications are usually enough to reverse the damage.
The Advanced Onset of Leaky Gut Symptoms
During the advanced onset of Leaky Gut is when the intestinal lining cells begin to break down and form larger gap junctions that are responsible for allowing undigested food particles and other unwanted substances that should be eliminated through your bowels, into your bloodstream.
Typically when you get to the advanced onset Leaky Gut symptoms is when most people get turned on to Leaky Gut and start asking, what is Leaky Gut and why is it causing me so many problems?
Advanced Onset Leaky Gut Symptoms
- Noticeable Food Allergies
- Chronic Fatigue
- Attention Disorders
- Headaches and Migraines
- Eczema, Psoriasis, and Dermatitis
- Joint Pain
- Early Stages of Autoimmune
- Digestive Issues
Unfortunately, doctors aren’t trained to even look for let alone make the Leaky Gut Syndrome diagnosis. So instead they mask these Leaky Gut symptoms with drugs while the underlying condition continues to go untreated.
The Long Term Leaky Gut Symptoms
If continued to be left untreated then it’s inevitable that your immune system will become fatigued which eventually leads to the development of autoimmune condition(s). And at this point it becomes even more increasingly difficult to heal.
In some cases, when autoimmune conditions develop and become severe, you are not always able to reverse them. At this point, you must learn to manage them and keep them under control in order to improve and maintain a normal quality of life.
Long Term Leaky Gut Symptoms
- Systemic Candida, Ringworm, Nail Fungus, etc
- Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
- Arthritis
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Severe Skin Conditions
- Crohn’s Disease
- Colitis
- Celiac’s Disease
- Ulcerative Colitis
It’s important not to let Leaky Gut progress too far because as I mentioned above, it does become increasingly more difficult to heal the further it progresses. It’s never too early to educate yourself on how to heal Leaky Gut because the earlier you do the better.
It’s also important to understand that while it’s easy to blame your chronic symptoms for your problems, the truth is that they are merely signs from your body telling you that something is wrong. And if you listen to what your Leaky Gut symptoms are trying to tell you, oftentimes they’ll lead you right to the true underlying problem.
