The description here sounds like bunk to me, but I've never heard of it. If undigested food particles and bacteria were crossing directly into the blood stream from the intestines, then I'd expect that would be an emergency situation, not a chronic condition.What is leaky gut?
Leaky gut, or "intestinal permeability," as Victor explained, is a condition in which the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged, causing undigested food particles, toxic waste products and bacteria to "leak" through the intestines and flood the blood stream. The foreign substances entering the blood can cause an autoimmune response in the body including inflammatory and allergic reactions such as migraines, irritable bowel, eczema, chronic fatigue, food allergies, rheumatoid arthritis and more
