Would this lead to extra inflammation in the GI tract?

I wouldn’t think so but it’s a valid concern. Your immune system is already primed to attack any of the gut bacteria should they escape (and in fact they do regularly escape and are killed constantly). Also the interior of the gut is somewhat of an immunologically protected zone , I think of it as outside the body.
