Spring is HERE !! FUN !!
Sneezing..Coughing..Runny Eyes. NO FUN !!
Our first thought is to reach for allergy pills, antihistamines, and eye drops. However, with proper education of the diet, you could be saving money by not purchasing these items, and you will have great potential to fixing your gut!
The idea that what happens in your stomach can affect your nose, or eyes, may sound strange; however, the body systems are very intertwined. Both the digestive system and the respiratory tract are immune barriers: It is their job to protect the body from 'outside invaders' such as pollen, or oxidants, harmful to the body.
When gut health suffers, so does the rest of the body; as a result, allergy symptoms flare up each Spring. Leaky Gut is a condition in which the lining of the digestive tract becomes inflamed and pours, allowing undigested foods, bacteria, yeasts, and other toxins to into the sterile bloodstream. The immune system launches an attack on these toxins, creating inflammation in the body. For many people, this happens every time we eat!
This inflammation manifests in different ways for different people. It can cause joint pain in some, skin problems in others. In addition, issues with brain function, fatigue, chronic pain, and seasonal allergies, have all been reported.
What Causes Leaky Gut and Seasonal Allergies?
Leaky Gut is very common today and can cause bloating, heartburn, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or pain. One of the most common causes of Leaky Gut is eating gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and other wheat-like grains. Wheat today is not like the wheat of past generations. It has been genetically altered, processed, and stored in ways that make it very damaging to people's guts. Sometimes simply removing gluten from the diet can profoundly relieve allergy symptoms by allowing the gut to recover and repair. Because leaky gut leads to intolerances and food allergies, you may need to eliminate other foods, such as dairy, non hormone-free eggs, or other grains. You may find significant allergy relief by following an anti-inflammatory diet.
The digestive system holds several pounds of bacteria that play a large role in function. When the bad bacteria overwhelm the good, inflammation and allergies result. Leaky Gut repair includes nurturing your beneficial bacteria with Probiotics. Probiotics are 'good bacteria'. There are several strains of probiotics; most types need to be refrigerated of they loose their potency. This is one of the most important supplements I incorporate into a client's nutrition.
You should see your allergies as a red flag that your body needs attention. Leaky gut can lead to much more serious conditions than allergies, such as autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, Type 1 diabetes, etc.), depression, anxiety, neurological diseases, and more. Weight-loss, well-being, and overall health can increase with gut repair and you may prevent, solve, or even resolve more serious problems.
