Question 1

what is the cure for leaky gut syndrome lgs?

Accepted Answer

You're free to try: "Leaky gut" is a pop diagnosis that may be real. You do need to know that the general medical community has been reluctant to accept it despite 20 years of promotion and a bona fide testing system (sucrose / mannitol absorption). If you are disappointed in the results of a treatment protocol, perhaps the diagnosis should be re-examined and another cause of your symptoms sought.

Question 2

how do i know if i have leaky gut syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Leaky Gut: Leaky gut is referring to an increased permeability of the intestinal tract.  In the area of the small intestines where nutrients are absorbed, there are tight junctions between the cells.  In leaky gut, the tight junctions aren't so tight anymore.  This is very often associated with a reaction to gluten.     There is a test that uses lactulose and mannose, but we often just treat without  it.

Question 3

what are the known causes to cause leaky gut syndrome?

Accepted Answer

See below: Leaky gut syndrome is not an established medical diagnosis.  If your have gastrointestinal issues i recommend being evaluated by your primary md or gastroenterologist.

Question 4

does leaky gut syndrome really cause autism?

Accepted Answer

No: Many kids with autism have digestive problems. There is a problem with the calcium channels at the cell level in autistic spectrum disorders in both brain cells and some of the cells in certain parts of the digestive system. But the digestive problems are just another symptom, not the cause of the disorder.

Question 5

could leaky gut syndrome cause a western blot band 41 to be positive ?

Accepted Answer

41 KD not diagnostic: The 41 kd result is not specific. I cannot incriminate the leaky gut as the reason for the 41 kd

Question 6

say i got rid of the worms i had , could  leaky gut syndrome be mistaken as thill having the worms ?

Accepted Answer

Whoa: Don't accept a diagnosis of either "worms" or "leaky gut syndrome" from a non-evidence-based practitioner. If you actually have a helminth infection, you need to get effective treatment.

Question 7

why is leaky gut syndrome not accepted by medicine? it seems to make sense-insuf metab molec's enter blood trigger autoimmune complexes etc etc

Accepted Answer

We are science-based: There are many theories for many disorders, which shows that people are thinking and imagining the possibilities... and that is a great thing. Of course, it is the 21st century now, and no theory should be believed until it is shown to be true. That&#x27;s the role of scientific research. So, no matter how good a theory sounds, it gets believed only when there is good research evidence to support it.

Question 8

is yeast in the stool considered leaky gut syndrome?

Accepted Answer

No: Yeast is normally present in the stool and may account for 5% of the dry weight.

Question 9

autism and leaky gut syndrome relationship or just hype?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: Many people believe that autism results from something bad getting into the body, and a "leaky gut" might let that happen.  Treatments designed to improve bowel integrity have not altered the disease, but that may because the damage is already done.  Personally, I am skeptical; but, definitive research still is needed.  At most it might be *a* cause; it's not *the* cause.
