These factors cause the stomach and other intestines to not function as they normally would, which limits the ability to process food. When your stomach cannot function normally, undigested foods, bacteria, and other parasites might “leak” out of damaged intestines and affect the healthy tissue beneath it, resulting in an overstimulated immune system. Consequently, a leaky gut forms as a reaction to the overstimulation.
