Our intestines are the largest organ we have. An intact intestinal flora protects us from harmful poisons (toxins) and bacteria. In the case of leaky gut syndrome, harmful substances can enter the bloodstream unhindered. The immune system reacts to this with inflammatory and allergic processes, ie the natural barrier is disturbed and toxins and bacteria can enter the bloodstream unhindered.

 

causes

  • certain food components: gluten (e.g. in rye, spelled and wheat) lectins (in many cereals and tomatoes) various flavorings, preservatives and food additives

  • fermented foods: wine vinegar tofu soy sauce

  • Unilateral unfavorable diet with a lot of sugar, white flour, alcohol, coffee / tea

  • frequent use of medication: antibiotics pain reliever cortisone

  • persistent stress

  • chronic diseases

  • Fungal diseases (mycoses)

  • smoking

  • Amalgam fillings

  • Food allergy

  • Food intolerance

  • Medical interventions such as surgery or radiation therapy

 

Symptoms

Diarrhea, flatulence, tiredness, fatigue, decreased performance, food allergies and intolerance diagnosis

 

diagnosis

Treatment: stool and blood serum analysis, lactulose-mannitol test, determination of the composition of the intestinal bacteria Treatment avoid triggers, regenerate intestinal walls, build up intestinal flora

 

Why is nutritional therapy important?

Improvement of your symptoms in relation to eating or after meals. Weight reduction is recommended if you are overweight. There is no drug therapy to combat leaky gut syndrome, but the symptoms can be improved. A change in diet and a healthy lifestyle ensure the healing process. First of all, it is important to avoid triggering factors: stress, medication or certain foods. The use of probiotics, such as yogurt with dextrorotatory lactic acids, has proven useful for building up a healthy intestinal flora. After the intestinal mucosa has completely regenerated, you can enjoy previously intolerable foods again.
 

Nutritional therapy supports you in reducing your symptoms overall and thereby positively influencing your health. An energy-adjusted wholesome diet under the supervision of a certified nutritionist can lead to your long-term success. The diet is adapted to your current weight and a jointly defined goal for weight gain / or loss.

The aim is to supply all of the fatty acids, micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that are important to you, energy and protein in the measure that your body is optimally supplied with. For this purpose, foods that promote inflammation are specifically avoided and plenty of anti-inflammatory foods are consumed.

 

Classification of your weight - definition and classification of weight in relation to height.

Special percentile curves apply to children and adolescents; the BMI cannot simply be used here.

BMI and interpretation: BMI: body mass index

Formula: Body weight in kg : (body height in m) 2

Underweight: <18.5

Normal weight: 18.5 - 24.9

Overweight = pre-obesity: 25-29.9

Obesity grade I: 30 - 34.9

Obesity grade II: 35-39.9

Obesity grade III:> 40 = per magna

Blood count:

It is advisable to have your Omega 3 index checked regularly.

This provides information about the supply of valuable omega 3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid), which can significantly counteract inflammatory processes in the body.
