Leaky Gut Syndrome (Intestinal Permeability)

Leaky gut syndrome, medically known as increased intestinal permeability, occurs when the tight junctions of the intestinal lining become compromised, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and bacteria to pass into the bloodstream. This triggers immune activation and systemic inflammation, contributing to autoimmune diseases, food sensitivities, and chronic health conditions. Functional medicine identifies the causes of intestinal damage and implements protocols to restore gut barrier integrity.

Common symptoms

• Chronic digestive issues (bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation)
• Food sensitivities and intolerances
• Skin problems (acne, eczema, rosacea)
• Fatigue and brain fog
• Mood issues (anxiety, depression)
• Autoimmune conditions
• Joint pain and inflammation
• Nutrient deficiencies despite adequate intake
• Seasonal allergies and asthma
