I still havent found a specialist for leaky gut. So please tell me what helped you so I can try it. Glutamine? Glucosamine? Arginin? Butyric Acid? Slippery Elm? Lecithin?
Bedman, probably all the supplements in the world will not help you unless you cut out the foods that are inflaming your gut and perpetuating the problem. The most likely culprits are wheat (and other gluten/lectin-containing grains), legumes, dairy products, and nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers). These days, there is a lot of information out there about leaky gut, thanks in large part to the popularity of the "Paleo diet", which eliminates these foods that we are theoretically not designed to ingest.

There is a test for intestinal permeability, no specialist needed. Wouldn't this be a good start?

What is this test called, nanonug? (i just know you're going to say the intestinal permeability test)
Hi LaurieLColostrum, IgA 40%
Oral glutithione to feed the gut cells, won't go systemic.
Acidopillus only with addtnl kefir
GLA found in Evening Primrose Oil
Salmon oil and Cod Liver Oil, the vitamin A and D content and everything to do with the retinol pathway and G proteins.
Pretty much tried everything to no avail, until I found these suggestions from someone in Holland in which broke down the biochemical events tied to CFS.
