Excellent review of LGS causes and solutions as currently known. Lots of misunderstandings floating around. Conclusion summarized below. Full paper linked.
“Certain infections, an unhealthy diet, stress, excessive use of antibiotics and other drugs, and alcohol can influence increased intestinal permeability and cause leaky gut syndrome. The intestinal hyperpermeability produced in leaky gut syndrome leads to an alteration of the tight junctions, the entry of toxic agents into the blood, and dysfunction in organs and systems. Leaky gut syndrome therapy should include diet modification avoiding fats, sugars, additives, and ultra-processed foods, and the appropriate supplementation of probiotics/prebiotics, arginine, glutamine, polyphenols, vitamins, fibers, medical herbs, edible mushrooms, and FODMAPs.”
