¿qué es un síndrome de intestino permeable? Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS) es una condición en la que la capacidad de la pared intestinal para mantener a las moléculas grandes y no deseados se reduce. De ahí el nombre, como las sustancias que normalmente se mantienen fuera del cuerpo y dentro de los intestinos, son "fugas" a través de la pared intestinal y en el cuerpo como un todo.
