Best Probiotics for a Leaky Gut – Microbiotic Plus Probiotics<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

A leaky gut is an all-too-real condition that is linked to dozens of health problems that include gastric ulcers, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)<\/strong>, diarrhoea, chronic fatigue syndrome, several auto-immune disorders and weight gain.<\/p>\n

So it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important to know how to use probiotics for a leaky gut \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and which probiotic strains really work.<\/p>\n

What is a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcleaky gut\u00e2\u20ac\u2122?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The lining of your intestine is made of millions of cells. These cells normally join tightly together to create a barrier between your gut and the bloodstream and keep pathogens \u00e2\u20ac\u201c bacteria or viruses \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from entering circulation.<\/p>\n

But that barrier must also contain microscopic gaps to allow nutrients from food you have digested to be absorbed into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a fine balancing act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an unhealthy gut, the lining \u00e2\u20ac\u201c called the epithelium<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c can weaken, so larger gaps develop in the barrier. These loose junctions allow toxins and bacteria to leak into the bloodstream and body. This triggers inflammation in the gut and then throughout the body. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s now established that inflammation is a key driver of most later-life illnesses.<\/p>\n

The loose junctions \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>ie. leaky gut or, to use the medical term, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcincreased intestinal permeability\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c lead to a chain-reaction of immediate health problems. These include bloating, gas, cramps, food sensitivities, poor absorption of vitamins and minerals, fatigue, headaches, joint pain and even mood disorders.<\/p>\n

Even more seriously, it is linked to several auto-immune diseases.<\/p>\n

In fact, Harvard Health’s <\/em>newsletter says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The research world is booming today with studies showing that modifications in the intestinal bacteria and inflammation may play a role in the development of several common chronic diseases.<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What causes these loose junctions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Though genes are a factor, as is gluten if you are intolerant, frequent culprits are a diet low in fibre, low in plant foods and high in sugar, saturated fats, alcohol and over-processed foods.<\/p>\n

Age also plays a part because as you get older, cells are damaged more easily and repair more slowly, so the gut becomes more vulnerable. Chronic stress can also be a factor, as can NSAID drugs and antacids.<\/p>\n

The result is that the ratio of good to harmful bacteria in the gut gets out of balance<\/strong>. That then leads to inflammation which is a primary cause of later-life illnesses and indeed accelerated ageing.<\/p>\n

A 2020 study published by the American Society for Clinical Investigation<\/em> confirmed that:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Leaky gut and inflammation are commonly associated with poor health of older adults\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and made worse \u00e2\u20ac\u0153in individuals with obesity, diabetes, or reduced physical function\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The study further confirmed that a multi-strain probiotic \u00e2\u20ac\u0153decreased epithelial permeability, which in turn reduced inflammation in local tissues and in immune cells\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

The study concluded that:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our findings indicate that probiotic therapies could be beneficial for preventing aging-related metabolic dysfunctions, physical decline, and inflammation, and they may promote healthy aging\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How can a probiotic supplement help?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you take a probiotic supplement<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, it immediately adds billions of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 bacteria to your gut. If these are the right strains, these then colonise the gut and, over time, crowd out and overcome the harmful bacteria.<\/p>\n

In other words, a probiotic supplement restores the correct ratio of good to bad bacteria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This then stabilises the barrier between the intestines and bloodstream \u00e2\u20ac\u201c essentially \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctightening up\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the loose junctions.<\/p>\n

A probiotic supplement can also correctly balance the stomach\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pH and create enzymes that destroy harmful bacteria. (Candida and yeast infections<\/a><\/strong><\/span> are examples of what can go wrong when bad bacteria take over.)<\/p>\n

What strains of probiotic are proven to help correct a leaky gut?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not all probiotic strains will help tackle a leaky gut. The following strains do, and the combination or synergy is important. Indeed, multi-strain probiotics are often called \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsynbiotics\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Study references are given at the end of this article.<\/p>\n

Lactobacillus rhamnosus<\/strong><\/h3>\n

L. rhamnosus is known to adhere to and support the intestinal wall, tightening junctions and decreasing the symptoms of leaky gut.<\/p>\n

L. rhamnosus also stimulates the immune system and research shows it is helpful to people who suffer from IBS.<\/p>\n

One of the most comprehensive studies on probiotics and gut barrier health confirms that:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lactobacillus rhamnosus is one of the best-studied probiotic bacteria in clinical trials for treating and\/or preventing several intestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel diseases.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153L. rhamnosus\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 promotes digestion, boosts immune system, increases resistance to infection and inhibits growth of pathogenic bacteria and disruption of tight junctions and barrier function.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lactobacillus plantarum<\/strong><\/h3>\n

L. plantarum keeps the wall between your digestive tract and your bloodstream strong and intact and reduces permeability of the gut wall. The probiotic also treats diarrhoea effectively. L. plantarum supports the production of l-lysine, which is essential to healthy immune function.<\/p>\n

Lactobacillus acidophilus<\/strong><\/h3>\n

L. acidophilus helps to make the gut wall less permeable. It also helps treat other conditions, including IBS, vaginal infections, asthma, lactose intolerance and diarrhoea. Lactobacillus acidophilus also produces acids for digestion, some B vitamins and enzymes that support the absorption of essential nutrients.<\/p>\n

Lactobacillus casei<\/strong> helps reduce intestinal permeability directly, and supports L. acidophilus to flourish in the gut.<\/p>\n

Bifidobacterium bifidum<\/strong><\/h3>\n

B. bifidum produces its own natural antibiotic substances that kill harmful bacteria and lessen the permeability of the intestinal wall.<\/p>\n

B. bifidum colonises in the colon in both men and women, and in the vagina. It supports the production of B-complex vitamins, while supressing the production of histamines, which otherwise can trigger allergic reactions.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong><\/span> A randomised double-blind trial published by Cambridge University Press<\/em> in 2017 studied a combination of the above three strains \u00e2\u20ac\u201c\u00c2\u00a0Lactobacillus acidophilus<\/strong>, Lactobacillus casei<\/strong> and Bifidobacterium bifidum<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c on patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This is a difficult-to-treat chronic autoimmune and inflammatory disease with its greatest impact on the joints of the body.<\/p>\n

Over 8 weeks this combination showed significant improvements on multiple markers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c especially inflammation and quality of life.<\/p>\n

Bifidobacterium longum<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Research confirms that Bifidobacterium strains reduce intestinal wall permeability and can even seal a leaky gut.<\/p>\n

People who are low in B. longum are more likely to suffer from allergies, in addition to leaky gut syndrome. This probiotic strain is involved in the production of biotin \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which helps stop Candida yeast from spreading.<\/p>\n

Leaky Gut FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Microbiotic<\/p>\n

What do doctors say about leaky gut syndrome?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fair to say that not all doctors recognise it \u00e2\u20ac\u201c because it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a diagnosis that few were taught about at medical school.<\/p>\n

Donald Kirby is Director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the Cleveland Clinic. In his opinion, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Physicians don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know enough about the gut, which is our biggest immune system organ.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

That is changing \u00e2\u20ac\u201c as the huge amount of research from the last decade testifies \u00e2\u20ac\u201c see references below. They confirm that without a healthy gut, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a healthy immune system \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and without a healthy immune system, you are vulnerable to infections, accumulating cell irregularities and autoimmune disease.<\/p>\n

How could leaky gut trigger auto-immune disease?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Zonulin<\/strong> is a protein that, in excess amounts, weakens the normally tight junctions in the gut cell wall. This, as we have seen, leads to inflammation and sometimes an excessive immune reaction against this inflammation \u00e2\u20ac\u201c where your immune system turns rogue and begins attacking your own tissues.<\/p>\n

Eating gluten may trigger this dangerous cascade. University of Maryland School of Medicine<\/em> researchers have discovered that gluten \u00e2\u20ac\u0153activates zonulin signaling … leading to increased intestinal permeability.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

What foods help decrease the risk of leaky gut?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a6\u00c2\u00a0<\/span> Foods that contain probiotics \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which include kefir, sauerkraut, miso, kimchi, pickles, sourdough bread and some yogurts (although most supermarket brands are pasteurised which kills many of the probiotics).<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a6<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0 Indirectly curcumin, vitamin D, zinc, beta carotene<\/strong>, high fibre fruits and vegetables <\/strong>and eggs. <\/strong>These all help support a healthy gut. Bone broth<\/strong> is a folk remedy with a scientific basis.<\/p>\n

What factors increase the risk for a leaky gut?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a6<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0 Excess refined carbohydrates, white sugar, dairy products, vegetable oils, artificial sweeteners and a low fibre diet. Gluten, if you are gluten intolerant or sensitive.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a6<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0 A course of antibiotics unfortunately destroys good bacteria along with the bad \u00e2\u20ac\u201c so a probiotic supplement is very helpful afterwards to help rebalance your gut microbiome.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a6<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0 Inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle slow down gut function \u00e2\u20ac\u201c so keep moving!<\/p>\n

Should I follow an Anti-Inflammatory Diet?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An anti-inflammatory diet will help improve leaky gut symptoms \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and indeed is central to health at all ages.<\/p>\n

Some foods you can include in an anti-inflammatory diet include<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mediterranean-style foods \u00e2\u20ac\u201c tomatoes, olive oil, green leafy vegetables<\/li>\n
  2. Omega 3 rich foods like salmon, tuna<\/li>\n
  3. Fruits, particularly strawberries, oranges, blueberries<\/li>\n
  4. Nuts, particularly almonds, and walnuts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How long should I take probiotics to see an improvement in Leaky Gut?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    This depends on many factors. How serious is your intestinal permeability? How well are you managing stress? Do you have any other gut issues such as Candida or yeast infection?<\/p>\n

    However, you should take a probiotic supplement for at least one month, if not two, to see an improvement.<\/p>\n

    How many billions of Probiotics CFU should I take to heal Leaky Gut?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    (CFU means colony forming units)<\/em><\/p>\n

    Less than about 7 billion per capsule is unlikely to make much difference \u00e2\u20ac\u201c because there are trillions of microbes in your gut. However, taking too high an amount can be a shock to your body. A good amount is 12 billion per capsule \u00e2\u20ac\u201c as in Microbiotic Plus<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but you can take two per day to double that total safely. But going too high may just cause diarrhoea. More is not necessarily better!<\/p>\n

    If the probiotic supplement is from a reputable brand, it will survive the harsh acid environment of the stomach and begin to colonise. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the key to improving the ratio of good top bad and healing the gut.<\/p>\n

Bacillus coagulans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

New research shows that the key to healing \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcleaky gut\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is that the probiotic strains should stimulate the production of an amino acid called taurine<\/strong>. Because taurine is needed to tighten up the loose junctions in the gut wall.<\/p>\n

Bacillus coagulans is an especially powerful probiotic strain that does promote the production of taurine and combines well with the above strains. However, it is expensive and only a few probiotic supplements contain it.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth seeking out, however, as a recent study showed that a combination of Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus rhamnosus<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0and Lactobacillus acidophilus<\/strong> with some prebiotic fibre was able to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153improve metabolic factors and reduce inflammation<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d especially in patients with type-2 diabetes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may not have diabetes, but overwhelming research shows that any food or supplement that improves insulin sensitivity is positive even in healthy people.<\/p>\n

There are an increasing number of good probiotic supplements on the market. One that includes all the above strains \u00e2\u20ac\u201c including Bacillus coagulans \u00e2\u20ac\u201c is Microbiotic Plus.<\/a><\/strong><\/span> It has 9 strains and 12 billion CFUs per capsule.<\/p>\n
