Leaky Gut Syndrome

Increased Intestinal Permeability or “Leaky Gut” Testing: Your intestines are supposed to allow the good healthy food particles and nutrients into your body and act as a shield to substances that are not wanted or needed or are damaging to the body. When your digestive tract has been damaged from inflammation over time it can become more like a sieve, or damaged so badly that hardly any nourishment can come into the body as in advanced celiac disease. This test is easy to do and allows Dr. Widenbaum to know whether you have Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS). LGS will also cause damage to your health due to allergy reactions and immune reactions to the unwanted particles that make it into your blood stream. Even your brain and nervous system health will be affected with Leaky Gut Syndrome. Watch the video below for an overview of how the gut affects the brain. LGS adds insult to injury and needs to be addressed if you are to recover your health. The only way to see if you have LGS is to test for it. We are thorough, so we perform this test, for your health’s sake!
