This is because symptom manifestation may be delayed by many hours or days after ingestion and there are often many reactive foods and food-chemicals that cause a problem.

Normally, our intestinal cell network forms a very important barrier between our digestive tract (outside environment) and our blood stream (inside environment). With intestinal permeability, the barrier is broken down and intestinal contents can enter the blood steam. Intestinal permeability can be associated with a variety of symptoms and clinical manifestations including digestive, systemic, or autoimmune responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearch shows that the digestive condition known as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eleaky gut\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(or intestinal permeability), is a common factor in the biological mechanism that leads to the onset of autoimmune disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0005\/8962\/7428\/files\/tight_junction_161abda9-410f-4912-921e-570f1b3e28e0_480x480.png?v=1654474407\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" width=\"388\" height=\"284\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it is easy to make the connection between the gut and digestive conditions such as food allergies, Celiac disease, Crohn's Disease, and Ulcerative Colitis, the link to autoimmune disorders such as Type 1 Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis or Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and all Autoimmune disease. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks the body's cells or receptors. Self-tolerance, the ability to not attack our own body's antigens, is an active physiological process.
