Inflammation doesnât always begin where you feel it. Sometimes, whatâs happening inside the gut may be part of the bigger picture.
The gut and immune system are closely connected. Things like intestinal infections, changes in the gut microbiome, increased intestinal permeability (âleaky gutâ), and reactions or sensitivities to certain foods may contribute to immune activation and inflammatory signaling in some people.
Thatâs why when someone is dealing with ongoing digestive issues or unexplained inflammation, we often want to look deeper at what may be happening in the gastrointestinal systemânot simply chase symptoms.
