The slow transit time that frequently occurs with Leaky GUT also means
undigested food matter is left in the intestinal tract for
long periods
of time making the environment a host to unfriendly bacteria like yeast and other nasty bacterial and parasitic pathogens.
Major contributors are
long - term stress; dysbiosis (
undigested food left in the intestinal tract to ferment); environmental toxins; gastrointestinal disease; impaired immune function; over consumption
of alcohol, a clogged liver, and diet: too much sugar, simple carbohydrates, processed
foods.
