Causes inflammation: There is an old saying that all health problems begin in the gut; while simplistic, it is often true. Intestinal imbalances result in increased intestinal permeability, sometimes called "leaky gut syndrome" which can trigger systemic inflammation, cause food allergies & nutrient deficiencies & toxic overload.

Inflammation: Certain inflammatory diseases affect the intestines as well as joints. Diseases like chrohns and ulcerative colitis can affect the joints. Also many of the drugs used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases are also used to treat inflammatory arthritis.
