Intestinal Permeability, often referred to as “leaky gut,” occurs when the intestinal lining becomes compromised and is no longer able to function as a strong protective barrier. In a healthy gut, the intestinal cell network helps separate the digestive tract from the bloodstream. When this barrier is weakened, unwanted substances from the digestive tract may pass into circulation and contribute to a wide range of health concerns.

Untreated intestinal permeability has been associated with symptoms and conditions across three main areas:

  • Digestive concerns, including inflammatory bowel disease, IBS, bloating, constipation, reflux, and food sensitivities.
  • Systemic symptoms, including depression, anxiety, migraine headaches, muscle pain, chronic fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, and micronutrient deficiencies.
  • Autoimmune conditions, including celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, asthma, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

Testing for intestinal permeability can help identify whether a deeper gut issue may be contributing to your symptoms. It will also serve as a guide for a more targeted treatment plan. By understanding the root cause of your symptoms, I can recommend strategies to support gut healing and restore healthier intestinal function.

Common contributors to intestinal permeability

  • Dietary factors such as refined sugar, a high-starch diet, gluten, casein, and alcohol.
  • Medications such as antibiotics and NSAIDs.
  • Lifestyle factors such as chronic stress and tobacco use.
  • Underlying gut conditions such as dysbiosis, SIBO, yeast overgrowth, Candida albicans, parasites, and low stomach acid.

★★★★★
It is amazing how many people are impressed with what we are doing and are thinking of picking up on some of our changes. We found the diet easy to follow – all we had to do is to concentrate on the foods we could have and the choices were plentiful.

At the end of the program I lost a total of 35 pounds, drastically reduced my blood pressure medicines and corrected my Coumadin medicine. Yes, we had to learn how to shop differently, had to clean our food cabinets and freezers of the foods that were keeping us from achieving our goals, but in the end the result has changed our lives for the better.
