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.
