Digestive Bloating & Inflammation (Leaky Gut)

Constant bloating, fatigue, and unexplained inflammation may not just be “bad digestion.” You could be facing intestinal permeability, better known as leaky gut, where your digestive lining becomes too porous, allowing toxins and undigested particles to enter the bloodstream and trigger widespread inflammation.

What’s Really Happening Inside Your Gut

Your intestines are protected by a delicate barrier of epithelial cells joined by “tight junctions.”
Stress, processed food, alcohol, infections, and certain medications can loosen these junctions, letting unwanted particles “leak” through.
This sets off an immune reaction that can cause:

• Chronic bloating or alternating constipation/diarrhea
• Food sensitivities or nausea after meals
• Joint stiffness or body aches
• Brain fog, fatigue, or low mood
• Skin issues like acne, eczema, or rosacea

Your gut is the foundation of your immune and nervous systems. When it’s inflamed, your whole body feels it.

Why It Worsens Over Time

Unchecked inflammation leads to a vicious cycle:

Poor Absorption → Nutrient Depletion → Slower Healing → More Inflammation.
Long term, this can evolve into autoimmune responses, metabolic issues, or worsening anxiety due to the gut-brain connection.

How Active Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture Helps

Our approach combines nervous system regulation and gut repair:

• Chiropractic adjustments restore proper nerve communication to the digestive system through the vagus nerve, improving motility and reducing inflammatory signaling.
• Blueprint & “Trust Your Gut” Programs address the root causes:
  
  • Identify triggers (foods, stress, infections)
  • Repair the gut lining with targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes
  • Rebalance the microbiome through evidence-based guidance
• Acupuncture (select clinics) supports motility, reduces bloat, and calms inflammation naturally.

When to Act

If your digestion feels “off” more often than not, your gut barrier may already be compromised. Repairing it early can prevent chronic inflammation from spreading to your joints, nerves, and brain.
