Do you think the gut only digests food? Dr. Eric Berg explains that the gut is the core base for the immune system, emotions, skin, and energy , and "leaky gut " is the starting point of chronic diseases. Here's a complete breakdown:

🧠 What is leaky gut syndrome?
- The intestinal wall consists of only one layer of cells → protection + nutrient absorption
- Leaky gut = damage to the intestinal wall → undigested material seeps into the bloodstream → triggers an immune attack
- 80% of the immune system and 90% of nutrient absorption are completed in the gut.
- Leaky gut = source of chronic inflammation, allergies, and autoimmune diseases
⚠️ 7 warning signs of leaky gut syndrome
|
symptom |
explain |
|
① Abdominal pain/bloating/colic |
Intestinal inflammation → indigestion |
|
② constipation/diarrhea |
Gut microbiota imbalance → abnormal bowel movements |
|
③ Fatigue/Weakness |
Poor nutrient absorption → insufficient energy |
|
④ Brain fog/poor memory |
Gut-brain axis imbalance → cognitive impairment |
|
⑤ Anxiety/Emotional Instability |
Enteric nerve + serotonin imbalance |
|
⑥ Dermatitis/Eczema |
Intestinal inflammation manifests on the skin |
|
⑦ Autoimmune diseases |
The immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues (such as in thyroiditis). |
🚫 Incorrect suggestion: Increase fiber?
- Medical advice to "add fiber" → can actually worsen leaky gut.
- When the intestines are inflamed, the fiber can irritate the intestinal wall , thus exacerbating leakage.
- ✅ Recommendation: Short-term adoption of a carnivore diet → reduces irritation and repairs the intestinal wall.
🧬 The true cause of leaky gut syndrome
|
Causes |
explain |
|
antibiotic abuse |
Disrupting the gut microbiota → Beneficial bacteria turn into pathogens |
|
Herbicide ( Glyphosate ) |
GMO foods are common and have antibiotic effects. |
|
Grains/Gluten |
Gluten cannot be digested by the human body → irritates the intestinal wall |
|
Milk protein |
Young children cannot break down the substances , leading to intestinal bleeding and anemia. |
|
Seed oil |
Chronic inflammation → damage to the intestinal wall |
|
Processed foods |
Nutritional deficiencies + excessive additives → high intestinal stress |
🌿 Methods to naturally repair leaky gut syndrome
|
method |
illustrate |
|
Meat diet |
Temporary → Reduce irritants (fiber, gluten, sugar) |
|
Supplementing with glutamine |
Repairing intestinal wall cells → High in natural components of meat |
|
Supplement with glycine . |
Supports collagen synthesis → Strengthens intestinal mucosa |
|
Discontinue use of seed oil |
Replace with olive oil, butter, and coconut oil |
|
Discontinue grain/gluten |
Including wheat, oats, rye, etc. |
|
Supplementing with probiotics |
Rebuilding gut microbiota → Enhancing immunity and digestion |
|
Stress reduction + sleep |
Lowering cortisol → reducing intestinal inflammation |
🧾 In conclusion: Don't assume that "gut problems = trivial matters" anymore. Knowing how to address them correctly is the key to true health.
Starting today, a gut-repairing diet, a targeted nutritional supplementation strategy, and a gut-centric health mindset will lay a solid foundation for your body!
