Where To Turn Next?
One Of The BIGGEST Culprits Of Chronic Digestive Problems Is Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS)!
Long Island, NY Leaky Gut

Leaky Gut Syndrome is a major cause of disease and dysfunction in modern society. Research has shown that up to 50% of chronic complaints in the U.S. can be linked back to leaky gut.  We call it a functional intestinal disorder and your doctor is NOT checking you for it!

Let's explored this a little further...
Think of the lining of your digestive tract like a net with extremely small holes in it. Your gut lining works as a barrier to keep out larger particles...proteins and other foreign substances from entering your blood stream.

When somebody has Leaky Gut, the intestinal lining or "net" gets damaged which can even cause bigger holes to develop. This causes even more particles through such as gluten, undigested food particles, bad bacteria and other toxic waste products. This ultimately causes an immune reaction and a downward spiral in your overall health.

Leaky gut syndrome is found in obesity, autoimmune diseases, over training, adrenal fatigue, fibromyalgia, and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, eosinophilic espohagitis, and the most common disease of the GI tract today called GERD. GERD = gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Leaky gut is also a feature of many psychiatric diseases. Anorexia and bulimia come to mind, as well as Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia. 

Irritable Bowel Syndrome and SIBO are both linked to a Leaky Gut!
What Causes Leaky Gut?
Here are some of the major causes of leaky gut...
  •  Food Allergies, Sensitivities & Intolerances - This seems to be a recurring theme with a lot of health challenges.  We need to remove foods that are harming your intestinal lining and ultimately causing an immune reaction.
  •  Chemical Toxins - Glyphosate is a weed killer that is in most foods we eat and it has been linked to leaky gut.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945755/
  •  Stress - Heightened stress hormones put a complete stop to digestion since your body wants you to deal with the stressor (work, relationships, finances - whatever your stressors may be).
  •  Low Levels of Pancreatic Enzymes - Digestive Enzymes are so important & are imperative in the digestive process. Once you have intestinal permeability this will only worsen the issue.
  •  Dysbiosis - Having microbial imbalances in your gut will weaken your GI system, making it less effective, prone to inflammation and weakening your natural defense system.  We do careful stool testing to see this.
  •  Large meals - Overeating will overwhelm your digestive system.
  •  Medications - Prescription antibiotics are indiscriminate killers - they kill the bad as well as the healthy bacteria. Frequent use of anti-inflammatory meds such as Advil, Motrin, Aleve, etc. can often damage the gut lining.
  •  Alcohol - Alcohol compromises gut health, particularly on an empty stomach. Alcohol abuse makes people much more susceptible to a compromised gut.

What's The Solution?
This is the "General" protocol we've been using with patients for years! Remember, your body is a self healing / self regulating organism. You simply need to find and FIX the underlying cause and "Live The Solution"!  Each patient is unique and treatment is based completely on their circumstances.

Stress plays an important part and reducing the fight or Flight mechanism is critical.  
We use gentle Vagal Nerve Stimulation to do this!

You don't need a pill, you need a D-R-R-H structured program!
(Digest-Remove-Replace-Heal)

It takes up to a year to heal a leaky gut and it must be done in a way that addresses the problem in steps.  We first work on Digestion, then we Remove the things causing irritation, then we focus on Replacing healthy bacteria (probiotics), and we work on Healing the gut lining .  When done properly, this can be life changing.
