Leaky Gut Syndrome, also called "Leaky Bowel Syndrome," is a digestive disorder.
Due to the increased permeability of the intestinal wall, bacteria and toxins can leak through here and enter the bloodstream.
Imbalance in intestinal flora, can cause leaky gut.
Use of antibiotics, prolonged intake of drugs such as NSAIDs (ibuprofen), an imbalance in your hormones, high carbohydrate and sugar foods and/or a high intake of alcohol can reduce the number of good bacteria. As a result, bad bacteria can gain the upper hand.
Possible symptoms of leaky gut syndrome are:
- Bloating and/or flatulence
- Abdominal pain or abdominal cramps
- Constipation and/or diarrhea (fluctuating stool pattern)
- Fatigue
- Skin problems, such as: acne, eczema
- Headache or migraine
- Depression/ mood swings
- Anxiety complaints
- Decreased ability to concentrate
- Strengthen autoimmune diseases, such as: Celiac disease, Crohn's, Diabetes type1, Rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto, Graves
Treatment BeterKlinic
BeterKliniek is the clinic for Integrative Medicine that bridges regular and non-regular medicine.
An van Veen (physician) and Michael van Gils (therapist) look for the cause of a condition or disease. That is where the treatment starts otherwise, as people often say, it is 'carrying water to the sea'. We call this cause medicine. Sometimes it is also desirable to treat the symptoms (at the same time). We call this symptom medicine.
Chronic disorders often have their cause in epi- genetics. You can schedule a free informative telephone consultation (phone number 040-7117337 until 1 p.m.) at BeterKliniek to discuss your symptoms so that we can provide you with further advice.
