Gluten can trigger Zonulin, a protein in the gut. Type 2 diabetic patients have shown increased zonulin also. Glycoprotein present in wheat activates zonulin.
Zonulin causes the tight junctions in your gut lining to loosen up. It turns out that gluten is a strong trigger of zonulin in some indiiduals. No human being completely digests gluten. And in a small percentage of us, that undigested gluten triggers the release of sonulin and high levels of it.
This allows gluten to get through the gut and into the bloodstream. A "leaky gut" is a red flag that something else is going on.
This causes chronic inflammatiation and further aggravating PCOS, an already inflammatory condition. By reducing your leaky gut, you can improve other PCOS symptoms. Some other health concerns conected to a leaky gut are obesity, diabetes, depression, asthma,....all also conected to PCOS.
