What Is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
5. Leaky Gut and Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is a condition that impacts the digestive tract. This disease results in chronic inflammation within the digestive system. Common symptoms include severe diarrhea, malnutrition and weight loss, intense pain in the abdomen and fatigue.
People who have this disease may also exhibit excess permeability within the digestive tract. Relatives of those who have Crohn’s and are thus at risk for getting the disease themselves tend to have leaky gut syndrome prior to developing Crohn’s.
