sorry, can you tell me what LPS is?.. and can one be tested for leaky gut? there are any particular signs that should be present in someone with leaky gut?
Hi notmyself - Sorry about that, I fixed my post to explain what LPS are. It stands for lipopolysaccharides. You can be tested for a leaky gut by a lactose or glucose breath test.
You can also have your zonulin blood levels tested, which correlate with a leaky gut. This is a list of some of the symptoms that can be caused by a leaky gut-

Headaches
Joint Pain
Fatigue
Skin symptoms (such as eczema or rashes)
Respiratory symptoms (such as asthma)
Mood symptoms (such as depression)
Brain symptoms (such as Autism)
