Warning Signs Of Leaky Gut Syndrome

Weakened Immune System

Over time, leaky gut syndrome could result in a weakened immune system in previously healthy patients. Cancer patients and others with compromised immune systems could experience further reductions in the strength of their immune systems too. Individuals with this symptom are more likely to acquire infections, including more frequent colds, sore throats, and upper respiratory infections. These individuals are less likely to be able to fight off influenza effectively.

In addition, conditions that would be minor for those with healthy immune systems could be very serious or potentially fatal for those with weakened immune systems. Patients in this situation should check with their healthcare team about situations they may need to avoid to reduce their risk of infection. They should ensure they are up to date on any necessary vaccinations.
