The intestinal lining has the paradoxical role of selectively letting into the body those chemicals, which it needs, and keeping out what is toxic. The permeability of this barrier is an especially important factor in maintaining the integrity of these critical functions. The leaky gut syndrome exists when some factor makes the spaces between the small intestinal epithelial cells wider than normal, and allows the transgression of macromolecules, bacteria and bacterial fragments, and other toxic substances, such as bacterial endotoxins, through these spaces and into the internal milieu. This surprisingly common problem occurs in a wide variety of clinical situations, and, as one would suspect, has profound negative consequences on the body.

Health Medicine Center Article, Leaky Gut Syndrome
Leaky gut syndrome is well described and studied in the mainstream medical literature, but mainstream GI doctors have ignored it. The physiology, pathology, and immune aspects of this condition are explained. It is involved with a wide range of autoimmune conditions and treatment is generally fairly effective and affordable.
Leaky gut syndrome is defined, its diagnosis, and mechanism of action described. The role of the microflora of the intestinal tract in maintaining normal sized intestinal pores is reviewed. The physiology and pathology of leaky gut syndrome is reviewed.
