if they would look into "high permeability and its causes...in an cfs/me-group"?
Not something I've done much research on, but 'leaky gut' does seem to be one of those terms which I notice turning up on quack's websites, and being used to promote dodgy alternative treatments.
So "quack" or alternative websites might promote poor or unproven treatments. So do regular doctors. The evidence based movement got some of its impetus from the need to correct this. However that has also become a source of bias.
older studies list 1, 2, 3, researchers.
nowadays its 10 to 20 ?
not that 'having published something' is the driving cause behind this...
The problem is, of course, you can't see leaky permeable intestinal guts (heh), so as far as mainstream treatment goes...
Intestinal permeability in cfs/me patients has been shown higher in patients after exercise testing over normal controls
If leaky gut was real, it would kill you.The doctor who did my colonoscopy said that there is no such thing as a leaky gut.

Well maybe it's like the adrenal fatigue thing.Your doctor doesn't "believe in" something that has published scientific clinical reviews? And is discussed in Pub Med by M.D.s, without any doubt of its existance?

Even BBC programs about food have had scientists using the term leaky gut.I've heard that it's a term associated with quackery too. I don't really know anything about this, but I would be cautious with any things like this, and try to make sure that any treatments are based upon good quality evidence, controlled trials, etc. Good luck.
