Question 10

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.
