A closer look
Your intestinal wall is supposed to be a high-security border crossing, but a rogue protein called zonulin is constantly leaving the gates wide open. Triggered by heavy stress or specific gluten peptides, zonulin deliberately breaks apart the cellular 'tight junctions' gluing your gut cells together. This microscopic structural collapse allows massive, undigested food particles and bacterial toxins to leak straight into your bloodstream, triggering an aggressive, full-body autoimmune war against your own tissues.
