Corticosteroids and leaky gut

[JLH]

"It bears mention that certain medications, treatments, and conditions can damage the lining of your gut. Antibiotics are one of the biggest offenders, because they annihilate your friendly gut flora. Radiation, chemotherapy, steroid drugs (corticosteroids), aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, other NSAID’s, as especially antibiotics can all increase intestinal permeability. Leaky gut may also show up along with parasites, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and irritable bowel syndrome that is traced to food intolerance."
