Can Leaky Gut Syndrome Be A Result Of Consuming Lectin Rich Food Items?

Do I need to worry about lectins from plant foods and eggs harming the lining of my gut and causing leaky gut? I know someone was trying to sell their product, but the presentation they gave scared me to where I am afraid to eat anything with lectins in them. It is difficult for me to believe that I will get leaky guy from eating foods with lectins in them. How do we get leaky gut?

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear lectins are found in many foods, not just grains, and consumed in smaller amounts, your body will do just fine with them. But foods that have large amounts of lectins are more problematic. Some of the lectins and foods that cause leaky gut include wheat, rice, spelt and soy.

so avoid wheat,spelt,soy containing food.

Avoid dairy products and peanuts.

use probiotic contain food, take soft diet.

if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
