How Do I Know if I Have Leaky Gut Syndrome?

How do I know if I have leaky gut syndrome? This is a common question that a lot of online readers who suspect that they have such health condition are asking in order to be sure what exactly their chronic illness is and how to treat it. Well, there are lots of steps you can take to determine if you have “increased intestinal permeability” as it is technically known. But the most common and simplest method that people follow is to look at the symptoms of leaky gut and apply it to their individual cases.

That’s okay but you should take it a step further by conducting leaky gut syndrome test. It will give you double assurance to confirm if you actually have the said health disorder or not. If you read one of the reports created by Karen Brimeyer, which is an interview she did with Dr. Peter Osborne, you will discover that Dr. Osborne emphasized on genetic testing to determine gluten intolerance since it is also at the heart of gut dysbiosis.

 

From my research so far, I discovered that doctors and alternative health practitioners use different testing methods to do this. My opinion is that it depends mainly on the doctor’s experience and the equipment at his or her disposal. Some of the types of leaky gut testing include mannitol, food allergies, gluten sensitivity or intolerance, and so on.

So, on how to tell if you have leaky gut syndrome, you have to visit a doctor who is an expert in gut dysfunction treatment and listen to his or her advice. Definitely, carrying out a comprehensive lab test will not be far from it. But the following leaky gut syndrome symptoms should help you to have a general idea of what you should expect.
