Episode 02: Gluten and Intestinal Permeability
For people who suffer with autoimmune diseases, having a gluten-free diet can significantly help with symptoms and lessen the immune reaction. However, gluten-free diets have also become a bit of a trend in recent years, with people removing gluten from their diets, without really knowing if they truly need to or not.
In this episode, Nicole deep dives into the topic of gluten and intestinal permeability. Nicole explains who is more susceptible to gluten intake reactions, the type of foods and drinks that include gluten and how it affects the gut barrier. Nicole also focuses on how to address and approach intestinal permeability, as well as how you can start the healing process if this is something you struggle with.
