A member asked:
What conditions are caused by a "leaky gut" and weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GI doctor can check: Inflammation of the bowel mucosa (the inner surface) makes the mucosa function abnormally, and allows molecules to be absorbed through the mucosa before they are properly digested (thus leading to some problems). A GI specialist and an allergist/immunologist can help figure things out. If the inflammation leads to malabsorption of calories, weight loss may occur. Other diseases may be involved.
