Have you been checked for leaky gut?
Not been checked, but the doctor has suggested it.
How does one test for it?
I have tried probiotics and react to even those.
I have been praying for a long time for a Red Sea sized miracle for healing from this. I think there’s something more than leaky gut as I’ve had issues to varying degrees literally since birth, but once I hit 40, it took a turn for the worst and now has reached a point where my ability to eat a nutritionally adequate diet has been severely compromised.
I thought the same. It took me a year to clear the parasite I had and another year of continued, very specific/restrictive diet to repair my gut.
In all the outreach I performed for my book, I never once encountered a single person who was able to recover their health despite expressing all the symptoms of leaky gut (back when it was still just an internet buzz term). Likewise, nary a soul expressed the willingness to engage any regimen longer than a month. It was about that time I gave up and almost trashed the whole project.
The condition of ‘leaky gut’ is slowly being recognized by orthodox medicine but treating it - and living the reality of a long-term plan - is not to be taken lightly, and I doubt that most people could find a doctor who harbors the knowledge to help treat it.
