A single layer of cells with narrow spaces between them makes up the gut lining. These gaps enlarge in an irritated gut. The digestive tract is breached by undigested protein, pathogenic bacteria, and other inflammatory chemicals. They then pass via the bloodstream into the body, where they can lead to low-grade, ongoing inflammation. We have leaky gut, if it is not fixed, chronic organ disease may result. Leaky gut is the "great imitator" and the underlying factor in a wide range of prevalent inflammatory conditions, including: Allergies Yeast Arthritis intestinal problems renal and liver problems Chronic inflammation brought on by a leaky gut can even result in cancer if left untreated. Aloe encourages the mucus secretions that guard the digestive tract's lining. This lessens irritability. When aloe soothes inflammation, cells of the gut lining tighten. This blocks the yeast, bacteria and other particles from getting through.
