10 Symptoms Of Leaky Gut
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Nutrient Deficiencies
The primary role of the gut is to absorb all the nutrients from the food you eat so that your body can grow, repair, and function normally. Malabsorption and improper digestion as a result of a leaky gut are both going to lead to nutritional deficiencies. As undigested food escapes from the digestive tract, nutrients are not being absorbed by the body.
More often than not, this manifests as nutritional deficiencies across the board because your small intestine does not have enough time to break foods and access the nutrients before the larger molecules pass through the membrane.
