A bone marrow disorder is a less common, more serious cause of elevated white blood cells. Leukemia is the most frequent culprit. With this type of cancer, the bone marrow produces large numbers of defective white blood cells and releases them into the blood. Other bone marrow disorders, such as polycythemia vera, can also increase the WBC count.
Leaky gut syndrome is said to have symptoms including bloating, gas, cramps, food sensitivities, and aches and pains. But it's something of a medical mystery.
Causes of leaky gut. Some of the most common causes of a leaky gut are: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) usage (eg. Aspirin and ibuprofen), antibiotic use, intestinal infection, dysbiosis, parasites, alcohol consumption, deficient immunoglobulins, ingestion of allergenic foods, oral contraceptive use and high sugar diets.
