Depends on cause: Worst case is perforation or hole in gut and will need surgery. More commonly is the break down of the junctions between cells that line the gut. This can be caused by an infection or commonly a condition called celiac disease most infections resolve with time celiac disease requires special diet and lastly crohns disease or ulcerative colitis may require immune suppressive therapy.

Leaky Gut: Leaky gut syndrome theories inspired several dietary treatments, including gluten-free diets, casein-free diets, antifungal diets, low-sugar diets, as well as supplements that include nystatin, b12, and probiotics. Best to work with a GI specialist or dietitian.
