In recent years, it has been understood that our intestines have other very important functions besides food digestion and absorption. First of all, the intestines play an important role in the body's immunity and defense. So much so that 70-80% of all body immune system cells are located in the intestine. In addition to these features, there are more nerve cells in our intestines than in our nervous system, and these cells, like our brain cells, produce Serotonin and Dopamine. Substances called happiness-giving and signal-transmitting substances are secreted. That's why our intestines are also called the SECOND BRAIN.
It is obvious that all these functions can only be realized with healthy functioning intestines. Long-lasting infections and therefore frequent Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs used, various unnatural foods, harmful chemicals and toxins, inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, etc.) cause the protective layer of the intestinal wall formed by beneficial bacteria, which we call "Biofilm", to deteriorate and cause inflammation (Germ-Free Inflammation). Thus, harmful substances and toxins, which should not normally pass into the blood from the intestines, mix with the blood and the resulting inflammation is not limited to the intestinal wall but spreads throughout the body, thus causing various rheumatic diseases, especially allergic diseases, Allergic Asthma, Hay Fever, Lupus, Psoriasis, It causes the emergence of many autoimmune and nervous system diseases such as Behcet's and Raynaud's Diseases and Multiple Sclerosis, and this problem is caused by "Hyperpermeable Intestinal Disease", medically defined as Leaky Gut.
HOW IS IT DIAGNOSED?
Considering that the person may have hyperpermeable bowel disease, measurement of harmful proteins such as ZONULIN and CALPROTECTIN, which rise in the blood in such cases, as well as Various food intolerance and intestinal probiotic tests help us a lot in diagnosis.
HOW IS IT TREATED?
The priority in treatment is to restore the damaged intestinal integrity. The first thing to do for this is to deal with the factors that cause the disease and the factors mentioned above. It is to stay away from food and restore the damaged intestinal flora with appropriate probiotic support. Apart from this, a special nutrition program and various biological and chemical products are used to repair the damaged intestinal barrier.
WISHES YOU A HEALTHY DAY.
