Colostrum Benefits : Leaky gut syndrome, mate? Colostrum can help
Leaky gut syndrome is characterized by the increased
permeability of the gut in response to excessive irritation and
inflammation of the intestinal walls. Because this increased permeability
leads to the improper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, it can
have a tremendous impact on several body processes, and is an underlying
factor in the development of most food allergies and autoimmune
diseases.
Although leaky gut syndrome has become increasingly
common and can be effectively treated through colostrum supplementation,
physicians often overlook the disorder when diagnosing and treating the
symptoms associated with it.
Inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract increases
its permeability through the formation of large spaces, or gaps, between
the cells lining the intestinal walls. Whereas larger molecules entering a
healthy gut are broken down into increasingly smaller pieces before
passing into the body, in people with leaky gut syndrome these molecules
can pass through the intestinal walls before these assimilation processes
are complete.
Bacteria, fungi, viruses, and toxins can also pass
through a leaky gut, allowing them to enter the blood stream and gain
direct access organs and tissues throughout the body.
Some of the most common health problems associated with
leaky gut syndrome are listed below:
�Weakened immune system: Leaky gut syndrome weakens the
immune system by reducing its ability to ward off pathogens at their point
of entry�the GI tract. Inflammation of intestinal walls damages the
protective coating surrounding immunoglobulin antibodies that are normally
present in a healthy gut, rendering them inactive and removing an
important line of defense.
�Nutritional deficiencies: In order to be transported
into body where they are needed, minerals rely on carrier proteins that
reside in the gut. These carrier proteins are also damaged by
inflammation, making them unable to transport ingested minerals into the
body for their utilization. In a similar way, very long periods of
inflammation can also prevent the absorption of vitamins and essential
amino acids, leading to other types of nutritional
deficiencies.
�Liver toxicity: The liver is responsible for helping
to keep bowel clean so that nutrients can be more efficiently absorbed and
utilized by the body. When the bowel becomes overloaded with toxins, a
tremendous burden is placed on the liver and can decrease its ability to
work efficiently.
�Food allergies: Because increased gut permeability
allows the absorption of proteins before they are completely broken down
in the GI tract, some proteins passing through the intestinal wall and
into the bloodstream are not recognized by the immune system, and are
quickly and actively treated as invaders. Antibody production begins, and
proteins from foods that were previously harmless begin to trigger
allergic responses that can damage body tissues.
�Beyond allergies - Autoimmune disorders: Leaky gut
syndrome is a precursor to almost all autoimmune disorders, in which the
immune system actively attacks the body itself through runaway autoimmune
responses that can cause extensive damage to body tissues.
The biologically active components in colostrum are
extremely effective in treating leaky gut syndrome, strengthening the
immune system, and repairing tissues damaged by autoimmune disorders.
Colostrum supplementation repairs damaged tissue and seals the mucous
layer of the intestines, making them impermeable to large molecules and
microorganisms and preventing the onset or further development of
disease.
In addition, growth factors contained in bovine
colostrum can have an anti-inflammatory effect throughout the body, making
colostrum important in the initial treatment of leaky gut syndrome and
relieving the painful symptoms of many autoimmune
diseases.
