How does the gut get leaky?

http://www.balancedbites.com/2010/07/is-your-gut-leaking.html\\

This is what I am sure I had last year with my allergy explosion and now am healing from with careful attention to my diet and supplements.

Gluten is a big one. I'm going as close to grain free right now as possible and I consider this a long-term change for the better. You can easily go gluten-free without having to go grain free. Grain free might seem like too big a step at the beginning. I actually find it easier to eliminate grains as much as possible starting with ADDING foods that I know are good (Primal Diet foods). After a while you no longer think of trying to find a "healthier" version of a "bad" food--instead, you just eat more of the best foods and leave the old ones behind. Concentrate on clean meats (local farmed best), seafoods, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Indulge in coconut as much as you want and use dairy products for flavoring--but avoid grains, legumes and beans.

This is just one of the many many articles on leaky gut and it is just the start of a journey to heal your health. Since I care about our family's health, feel free to ask me a question and I will try to "consult" with you about how you can improve your health.
