is Leakygut in which the digestive tract cells lose tight junctions that are a barrier in helping filter out particles. That causes large particles of incompletely digested food to slip through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. This makes the body think it is foreign and creates a reaction against it. The cause of leaky gut can be caused by eating foods contaminated with chemicals or taking certain types of medicine. Having an unbalanced microbiome in the intestines caused by medicine, stress, nutritional deficiency, etc.
