Leaky Gut Syndrome, also known as LGS or increaesd intestinal permeability is a major overlooked cause of autoimmune attack and chronic illness. Did you know that during a typical lifespan 60 tons of food pass through the intestinal tract? Of course, along with food there are also bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and other irritants that pass through the GI tract as well.

There is disagreement globally about just how much gluten in food [as cross-contamination or as an additive (remember deamidated gliadin from my last article)] that will promote the continued damage to intestinal mucosa. Some researchers promote 200mg and others as few as 20mg. The "gluten threshold" topic is currently under evaluation by the Codex Alimentarius, the WHO/FAO commission that is in charge of setting food standards at the international level.[3]
