Leaky Gut Syndrome - Could This Be Why You Are Sick?: A Step-by-Step Path to Wellness - Paperback

by Ron Kness (Author)

Leaky gut is just now starting to come onto the radar for doctors as more and more people are developing gastrointestinal and other disorders with no known cause. If you have frequent unexplained sickness, you could have leaky gut syndrome. What it means is things are getting through the wall of the small intestine that aren't supposed to get through. One of the big jobs of your small intestine is to finish the digestive process by continuing to break down the food you have eaten into smaller and smaller particles. And then, it absorbs the nutrients from that food through your intestinal wall and into your bloodstream where the nutrients can be absorbed by cells and converted into energy. And it has another big job, too. It's supposed to keep harmful stuff inside the tube, where it can't cause too much trouble for your immune system. Things like bad germs, toxins, and food particles that are still too big for your body to use. But sometimes, the lining of the small intestine gets damaged or the communication signals get confused resulting in things get through that shouldn't. And that can turn into even bigger problems in the form of infection or autoimmune disorders. But in this guide, you will learn about what the leaky gut syndrome is, its potential causes, and proposed treatments that might be able to not only relieve your symptoms, but make leaky gut a thing of the past.

Author Biography

I grew up in Central Minnesota, where my parents owned and operated a fishing resort. Once out of high school I tried a couple of semesters of college, only to quit halfway through the Spring term; I decided at that time that college wasn't for me. Then I decided to follow my father's previous occupation as an auto mechanic. I graduated from a two-year of vocational training course and worked as a mechanic for five years. While in vocational training, I decided to join the National Guard where I eventually ended up working full-time for 32 years. So how does all of this relate to writing? In one of my leadership schools, the instructor, who was an English teacher at a juvenile detention center, presented writing to me in a whole new way - a way that started to develop my interest in working with words. I eventually went back to college on the GI Bill while I was working and earned my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Taking a class or two per semester at night and on weekends took me seven years to complete my degree. Fast forward about 40 years and I now have published over 75 books on Amazon for Kindle, CreateSpace and other publishing platforms. Besides my own writing, I also ghostwrite ebooks, reports, articles, blogs and do Kindle conversions for clients on a variety of topics, but with a focus on health and fitness topics. Today my wife and I are retired from our careers and live in Gold Canyon, AZ. I now write as a retirement business where you'll find me happily sitting in my office typing away on my laptop as I work on my next book or ghostwriting project . . . that is if we are not traveling on a cruise ship - our new-found mode of travel.
