Gluten causes what is called a leaky gut. When you eat gluten and it travels to our small intestine there are chemicals released that cause our small intestine to be more permeable allowing an increase of nutrients to exit and enter into the bloodstream. This is what we mean when we say gluten causes a leaky gut, it is essentially causing your gut to leak more things than it normally would. Our small intestine functions as the place where most of our nutrients are absorbed ba...ck because they are essential nutrients that we need. When those nutrients leak into the bloodstream, our body doesn’t recognize these nutrients as their place is in the gut and not in the bloodstream. Your body starts attacking its own issues in an effort to get these molecules out, which causes our gut to become inflamed. Here at Norcal Brain Center, we run many different types of gluten sensitivity panels along with other blood tests if deemed necessary. We have seen patients receive remarkable results with our autoimmune and leaky gut protocols. ____ #neurology #brain #brainpower #norcalbraincenter #neuro #neuroscience #neurofeedback #hyperbaric #carrick #functionalneurology #sanjose #brainrehab #concussionrehab #vestibular #hyperbaricoxygen #autoimmune #gluten #balance #neuronerd #tbi #natural #happy #instadaily

Evidence has shown that vestibular rehabilitation can be effective in improving symptoms related to many vestibular (inner ear/balance) disorders. People with vestibular disorders often experience problems with vertigo, dizziness, visual disturbance, and/or imbalance. These are the problems that rehabilitation aims to address. Other problems can also arise that are secondary to vestibular disorders, such as nausea and/or vomiting, reduced ability to focus or concentrate, and ...fatigue. - McDonnell MN, Hillier SL.
