What Is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
4. Leaky Gut and Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a serious medical condition that results in a severe allergy to gluten. The disease is an autoimmune issue. When a person with celiac consumes gluten, it damages the small intestines. This leads to an inability to absorb nutrients. Long-term damage results in a number of potential health complications.
People who have celiac disease also have a high degree of permeability in the gut. This permeability can increase immediately following the consumption of gluten products. This leaky gut can contribute to the severity of the symptoms associated with the condition.
