How to Heal a Leaky Gut

heal a leaky gut

In the previous article, we addressed the symptoms and causes of a Leaky Gut. If you have been experiencing any of the symptoms, here’s what you can do to heal your gut!

Ways to Heal a Leaky Gut

One of the best ways to heal a Leaky Gut is to consume a healthy, well-balanced diet with optimum nutrition. The process includes:

  • Remove: Excluding the toxic and inflammatory foods as it causes the gut to become leaky and adding good and healthy nutrients that will result in healing the gut. Remove products which affect the environment of the gut negatively.
  • Replace: For appropriate digestion and absorption, including important healthy nutrients for proper break-down and absorption of the nutrients i.e. digestive enzymes, HCL (Hydrochloric Acid) and bile acids.
  • Reinoculate: It is quite difficult to restore the important bacteria to improve the good gut bacteria.
  • Repair: It is important to provide essential nutrients for the gut to be restored. To revive the lining of the gut wall it is important to consume L-Glutamine supplement.

Necessary Dietary Modifications

Listed below are a few ways in which you can heal a leaky gut, improve gut health as well as good gut bacteria.

  • Reduce the Intake of Refined Carbohydrates: Harmful Bacteria grow more when there is an excess intake of sugar and can harm the gut barrier function. Avoid unhealthy, processed, junk and fried foods.
  • Include Probiotic Supplements: This helps improve the beneficial gut bacteria. Probiotics include curd, buttermilk, and probiotic supplements.
  • Eat Fermented Foods: Fermented foods such as yogurt, kimchi, saukerkraut, kefir and kombucha, help improve gut bacteria.
  • Include Plenty of High Fiber Foods: This includes fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole-grains that feed the beneficial bacteria.
  • Reduce the intake of alcohol and Quit Smoking
  • Avoid or reduce stress

Common Questions Asked

How long does it take to heal a Leaky Gut?
To get an idea about this question, we need to go down to the cellular level. 300 square meters is the surface area of the gut. The enterocytes are the lining cells of the gut that keep reviving/restoring in a gut which is normal and healthy.  A new lining of the gut is seen every two to three weeks. For those individuals who do not have any medical disease or conditions, studies prove that that gut-healing might take around 2-12 weeks (higher range may-be for those who have other medical conditions).

In another study by Harvard published in the Medical Journal Nature, states that those who are keen on healing their gut majorly have an underlying cause as an issue will take a longer time to heal by making it more complex and slow i.e. like a journey.

In-case whenever you decide to change your time in terms of diet and lifestyle, that restores the gut functioning, skin gets clearer, energy increases, bloating reduces, loss of weight, betterment in the conditions like eczema, asthma, allergies, migraine, depression, eagerness/anxiety, auto-immune disease and much more. This again varies depending on several factors/causes.

How do I know my Gut is repaired?
There are a few signs which indicate that the gut is fully repaired. Firstly, you’d want to check whether your gut has healed completely or not. This can be analysed via the symptoms that you experience. Below are a few points which should help you analyse:

  • Digestive Issues, food sensitivity vanish/fade away along with skin issues
  • Auto-immunity lab markers improve, returning to optimal self (quality of life improves)
  • Your energy and stamina return
  • Improved mood
  • You came back to proper weight.

You can also check it through a spectrum, with one side being no inflammation & healthy balanced gut with no symptoms and other end being leaky gut with several symptoms.

Even if the gut is repaired, it could have its draw-backs where you need to work to get back to normal health. Be calm and firm on following your gut-healthy protocol. It will not only help you get your health back on track but it will improve your quality of life as well!

We hope this article helps you make the necessary changes and heal. For more session on Gut Health, tune in to GOQii Play. Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Do Grains Cause a Leaky Gut?

leaky gut

If you’re suffering from chronic diarrhea, constipation, gas or bloating coupled with a poor immune system, your issue might be more than something to do with ‘what you ate last night’. There’s a fair chance that you might be suffering from a leaky gut.

What is a Leaky Gut?

A Leaky Gut, as the word suggests, literally means that the gut/intestine is leaking. Technically, the permeability of intestinal mucosa increases and as a result, a protein called Zonulin and consequently bacteria, toxins, digestive metabolites, and bacterial toxins leak into the bloodstream.

This increases the toxic build-up in the body which manifests itself on the skin, colon, hormones, lungs, liver, lymph and kidneys in the form of bloating, diarrhea and constipation. Autoimmune response could include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Celiac disease, migraines, a weak immune system and hormonal imbalances, etc.

The exact cause of a Leaky Gut is not known, but potential causes include a poor diet, chronic stress, toxin overload and imbalances in the gut microbiome or dysbiosis.

The Role of Grains in Increasing Gut Permeability 

Dietary guidelines advise one to eat adequate amounts of (whole) grain products per day and are promoted as the fiber-rich foundation of a healthy diet. The question is, are grains really necessary as a part of our diet or can they be harmful?

Yes, grains are the main source of our energy for daily activities, brain function and even supply us with Vitamins B Complex and minerals like Zinc, Chromium, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium and Manganese, etc. that boost numerous biochemical reactions taking place in our body every moment. Having said that, grains & legumes also contain certain anti-nutritional compound/chemicals which can make them inflammatory and can affect some people.

What are the Anti-Nutritional Compounds in Grains? 

1. Gluten
Gluten is the main structural protein complex of grains like Wheat, Rye and Barley.  They are incredibly widespread in modern diets due to the increased intake of processed/refined flour food products such as bread, cakes, pastries, sauces, ready meals and breakfast cereals.

Research has shown that in a person with gluten sensitivity, ingesting gluten significantly increases intestinal permeability immediately after the consumption. Studies have shown that the daily consumption of wheat products and other related cereal grains could contribute to the manifestation of chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases.

Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that gliadin, by releasing Zonulin and wheat germ agglutinin can both increase intestinal permeability and activate the immune system and have also been confirmed in human studies.

2. Lectins
Grains have different types of lectins but all are not harmful. The harmful ones are Agglutinins and Prolamins. Agglutinins are a natural insecticide to protect crops from insects. But to get a higher yield of crop, grains are genetically modified (GM) to produce more of their natural insecticides which in turn make the grain inflammatory.

Prolamins are also not easily digested and most grains contain a Prolamin similar in structure to gluten. For example, Orzenin in rice or Avenin in oats or Gliadins in wheat.

3. Phytates and Phytic Acid
Phytates and Phytic Acid in the seeds of grains inhibits digestion and absorption of certain minerals (specifically zinc, iron, and calcium) by binding with them in the gut. These are vital for our immune system to function properly. Usually, a small amount of Phytates in diet does not cause a problem, as long as you’re getting adequate nutrients from the rest of your food. But mineral deficiencies may result when grains form the staple diet.

How Can You Manage a Leaky Gut? 

  1. Go for gluten-free grains like bajra, rice, maize, and gluten-free oats. Even ‘gluten-free food products available in the market contain some food additives, food preservatives, some amount of fibre and added sugar which can further damage the gut lining. So, beware and read the nutritional label!
  2. Go for non-GMO and heirloom varieties of seeds that are passed down from generation to generation. Make sure to soak grains overnight in water mixed with a little bit of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, sprout and slow cook them. These methods also activate Phytase, an enzyme present in the plant that breaks down Phytates.
  3. Don’t rush through your food, chew it slowly and thoroughly so that small particles of food can be well digested and absorbed in the intestine.
  4. Adopt an anti-inflammatory eating plan. Include plenty of colourful, fresh fruit and vegetables, seeds, soaked nuts, plant protein such as beans and lentils and oily fish. At the same time, exclude sugar, processed foods, red meat and alcohol. Fermented foods can replenish natural gut bacteria. Try curd, fermented pickle, sauerkraut, kefir or kombucha.
  5. Vegetables from the nightshade family (Solanaceae) like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant (brinjal) and potatoes, are high in lectins that can damage the gut lining. They don’t even breakdown while cooking. So those with autoimmune diseases should avoid these vegetables as well.

If grains are the staple food, they may obstruct digestion and contribute to a leaky gut. For those with autoimmune diseases or gluten sensitivity, it would be wise to completely exclude grains, pseudo-grains, legumes and nightshades. Also avoid nuts and seeds if they cause any inflammation. Once the intestinal gaps heals, medicines are reduced or stopped and there are no symptom, you may have these foods once in a while.

Medically, Leaky Gut Syndrome is a hypothetical, unrecognized condition.

The Happy Hormone Journal

 Divya-Image 2-Part 1

Stress is a very common component of our everyday life. Staying happy amidst our busy schedules has become almost impossible. Everybody wants to be happy and we often find ourselves pursuing this emotion in various ways. Did you know that these emotions are the result of chemical reactions in the brain? The human body has 4 natural built-in mood-enhancing chemicals, which help combat stress and relieve pain keeping you happy and positive.

What are happy hormones? Why do they make us happy? How do we get more of these in our system?

The four happy hormones are Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphin (DOSE).

DOPAMINE: This is one of the chemical signals that pass information from one neuron to the next. Dopamine is released during pleasurable moments or situations and helps to regulate how pleasure is perceived and experienced. Dopamine is also responsible for our motivation, concentration, pleasure, bliss and euphoria.

How can you boost your Dopamine level:-

  1. Limit your sugar intake: Although sugar is linked with raising dopamine levels, the “high” achieved is only temporary and is linked to a wide array or illnesses.
  2. Limit caffeine intake: Yes, caffeine can also raise dopamine levels but studies show that increased caffeine intake can actually cause an increase in tolerance and can lead to lowered or even diminished dopamine release in the long run.
  3. Connect with others: Human contact such as hugs from your kids, kisses from your spouse, or even simply shaking hands with a friend or colleague is enough to boost dopamine levels.
  4. Meditate: Meditation and mindfulness helps the body relax through deep breathing and calming of the nervous system. This in turn helps with the release of dopamine.
  5. Listen to music: Listening to the music you enjoy helps trigger our pleasure centre thereby releasing dopamine.

OXYTOCIN:

This hormone and neurotransmitter is best known for its role in breastfeeding and childbirth. It’s produced in the hypothalamus and females have been shown to have higher levels than males. Oxytocin has been linked to higher self- esteem, trust, optimism and can help lower stress and blood pressure.

How to boost Oxytocin:-

  1. Cry: Suppressing ones emotions can lead to lower oxytocin levels which can cause stress as well as various physical issues within the body. We often hear that a good cry can help us heal both emotionally and physically. It’s true!
  2. Give: This can be in the form of volunteering or simply making a generous donation. The act of giving and/or bonding with others can help increase oxytocin levels and make us feel good overall.
  3. Physical Touch: Oxytocin helps to trigger the reward system in our brain when we are in healthy and loving relationships. It is also released during orgasms in both men and women.
  4. Encouragement: Whether we are getting it, or giving it, words of encouragement go a long way in the release of oxytocin. Compliment and encourage one another at every chance you get!

SEROTONIN:

Do you feel imbalanced? Do you have depression, anxiety, hot flashes, night sweats, bipolar disorder, migraines, insomnia, PMS, or chronic pain? The cause of all these symptoms is a neurotransmitter imbalance.

Like dopamine, serotonin is also a neurotransmitter. While dopamine is responsible for our excitement and motivation, serotonin is responsible for calming us, suppressing pain, and regulating our mood and sleep cycles. This hormone is found mainly in the gastrointestinal tract, platelets,                    and the nervous system. Serotonin also controls appetite and reduces your sensitivity to pain.

How to boost Serotonin:-

  1. 1. Aroma massage: Regular body massages can help lower the stress hormone cortisol, and help increase both dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain/body.
  2. Positive affirmations: Regularly reciting positive affirmations can help almost re-wire your thinking. Numerous studies show the effects of positive thinking can help with serotonin synthesis while lowering cortisol levels.
  3. Good vitamin B Intake: Vitamin B6 and B12 are directly linked to lowered levels of depression and when taken regularly, can help boost overall feelings of well-being. The richest sources of vitamin B6 include fish, beef liver and other organ meats, potatoes and other starchy vegetables, and fruit (excluding citrus). Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products.
  4. Gardening: This one may seem strange but studies show that microbes contained in the soil can lead to a rise in serotonin simply through inhalation.

ENDORPHINS:

These are chemical compounds which are produced in the human body and interact with receptors in the brain. They help to reduce pain, increase focus, and improve your overall mood. It also helps boost energy, confidence, and makes all of the daily stressors of life much easier to cope with. Today, we produce endorphins when exercising our anaerobic zones. Anaerobic exercise helps us to cope with chronic pains by activating our body’s natural painkillers. Hence exercise is one of the many ways of boosting Endorphins.

How to boost Endorphin:-

  1. Laughter: Not only does laughter boost serotonin levels but also helps to increase pain tolerance levels.
  2. Healthy eating habits: Increase your consumption of protein, healthy fats, and plant based food while limiting alcohol and caffeine. If you supply the necessary amino acids the body will restore balance and you will have improved health and moods.
  3. 3. Sunshine exposure: Regularly spending time outdoors in the sun can regulate the release of endorphins. The best time is to expose the body to the Sun is from 10am to 1pm.
  4. Aromatherapy: Soothing scents such as those found in essential oils can help with the release of endorphins in the body.

So keep smiling, stay positive and keep these hormones levels at the peak!

Healing power of herbs and spices – Part 1

 Spice

Cooking without spices is like having a dance party without music; the two just go together. These power packed tiny ingredients have a lot to offer apart from flavoring. Yes! I’ve heard plenty of stories of people who have healed various health problems through food. As Hippocrates, the famous Greek Physician once said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” This makes it clear that people are aware that food can be used to treat or prevent health conditions. Most of us in the field of holistic medicine could spend hours discussing different approaches to food and diet. However, I think that we often overlook the power of a diet in terms of the abundance of benefits spices and herbs present in the food have to offer.

The history of spices is simply fascinating. It’s testimony to the fact that wars were fought over spices and kingdoms were lost over them. Spices were recognized as powerful medicine way back in 2600 BC. These herbs and spines not only add interest to our plates and palates, but they promote health in incredibly powerful ways. Ideally, the leaf of a plant used in cooking may be referred to as herb, and any other part of the plant, often dried, as a spice.

Spices can be the buds (eg. cloves), bark (eg.cinnamon), roots (eg. ginger), berries (eg. peppercorns), aromatic seeds (eg. cumin), and even the stigma of a flower (eg. saffron). Many of the aromatic seeds known as spices are actually gathered from plants when they have finished flowering. A familiar example would be coriander, with the leaves being referred to as herb, and the dried seeds as a spice.

Below is an extensive list of spices and herbs (Described in alphabetic order; Doesn’t mean it is in the order of their importance/benefits) that are worth adding to your culinary list owing to their key health benefits. We have split the blog into two parts for easy reading.

  1. Amchur: Amchoor or Amchur, also referred to as mango powder, is a fruity spice powder made from dried unripe green mangoes and is used as a citrusy seasoning. Mostly it’s used in Chutneys and Indian curries. Due to its high iron content it is popularly recommended for Anemia and Pregnant women. Also, it’s believed to reduce acidity and improve digestion.
  1. Asafoetida: The lingering odour of Asafoetida has given it many names like Devil’s dung and stinking gum. It’s commonly known as Hing in India. It’s warm in nature and that probably explains the reason it helps to increase the digestive enzymes. It helps reduce flatulence, digestive disorders, prevents constipation and is an excellent laxative. A pinch of asafoetida can be taken with buttermilk/water to reduce flatulence and cleanse the digestive system. Also, It’s believed to relieve menstrual pain. The active component of Asafoetida, coumarins can thin the blood and is believed to be anti-coagulant. Also, helps lower blood pressure.
  1. Black peppercorns : Also known as Kali Mirch. Piperine is the active ingredient in black pepper, and it has been shown to jumpstart digestion, prevent certain cancers and heart disease, lower blood pressure, and prevent arthritis. Cases show that it has cholesterol lowering properties and help in cardiac function recovery especially after a heart attack. Overnight soaked peppercorns if consumed next day while having breakfast relieves migraine problem for most of them. The outer layer of peppercorn assists in the breakdown of fat cells. Therefore, peppery foods are a good way to help you shed weight The antibacterial property of black pepper helps to fight against infections and insect bites.
  1. Basil: Also known as Tulsi in India and considered auspicious has medicinal usage extending from reducing ill effects of radiotherapy of cancer to optimizing kidney function to keeping cough and fever at bay. This herb has lot to offer. The strong anti-bacterial properties of Basil are known from years and hence owing to this property, basil is valued for its anti inflammatory The active components i.e. eugenol and rosmarinic acid present in basil boosts production of serotonin and dopamine in brain. This could lead to sunnier mood in as little as 3 days. Basil also has a strengthening effect on kidney functioning. Consuming 5-6 leaves with water or crushing leaves to make juice and having with equal proportion of honey on a regular basis will improve overall kidney functioning and also aids in facilitating kidney stones through the urinary tract. Basil is a key ingredient in cough syrups and expectorants. Basil leaves can be used in the treatment of fever and common cold. Chewing some fresh basil leaves for relief from colds and flus is the best possible thing to treat naturally. Usually Smokers are prone for respiratory disorders and cancer. For both these, Tulsi is ideal. Having said that, care needs to be taken while handling this herb as the oils in basil are highly volatile, it is best to add the herb at the end of the cooking process, so it will retain its maximum essence and flavour !
  1. Bay Leaf : Bay leaves popularly known as Tej Patta are one of the main ingredients added to the popular Indian spice mix i.e. Garam Masala. Bay leaves help strengthen immune system and ward off urinary tract infection. Bay leaves have a very strong effect on the gut health.
