Occurs when the intestinal tract loses integrity of what are referred to as tight junctions (groups of cells that hold the intestines intact at the cellular level where nutrients are absorbed). With leaky gut syndrome, gaps form in the intestinal tissue that forms the barrier system. When the barrier is breached, large bacterial toxins and immune peptides pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream throwing the immune system into chaos. Confused, the immune system mistakenly identifies healthy cells in the body as enemy invaders and attacks them. This is the nature of every autoimmune disorder.
