Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS) is a subtle, yet ever increasing issue that is being linked to more and more chronic health conditions, many of which are even life threatening. 

LGS traditionally was not generally recognized by mainstream medicine, but evidence has been accumulating, especially in the last decade, that it is a real condition that affects the lining of the intestines. The theory is that leaky gut syndrome (also called increased intestinal permeability) is the result of damage to the intestinal lining, making this barrier more permeable to less than desirable agents, of which if they enter into our bloodstream can impact many systems throughout our body.
