There is no examination which reliably proves a leaky gut syndrome. However, tests can be carried out that provide evidence of a leaky intestinal barrier:

• Mannitol test
  An appropriate solution is drunk and then the urine is examined for a disaccharide and mannitol. If these substances are increasingly found in the urine, this is an indication of leaky gut [4].
• Zonulin blood test
  If zonulin (the protein that makes up tight junctions) is found in the blood, this can also speak for a permeable intestine [5].
• Stool test
  If the substances alpha-1-antitrypsin or secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) are increasingly found in the stool, this can also indicate leaky gut [6].
• Online test

  The Swiss association Parasitenfrei has developed a medical online test with which you can get an expert assessment from home in a few minutes whether you have a leaky gut syndrome:

One of the main functions of the small intestine is to process the food it consumes and to transfer the nutrients into the bloodstream [7].

The content of the intestine itself is harmful for the body, as it consists, among other things, of foreign substances from food, special microbes and toxins (poisons) [8].

The intestinal wall acts as a barrier between intestinal contents and blood circulation, so that harmful substances are processed in the intestine in a protected manner and not get into the rest of the body [9].

The intestine decides in an intelligent way which substances it excretes, which it converts and which it directs into the bloodstream. The most common mechanism is that the intestinal wall transports the substances that are to be absorbed through the intestinal cells. Basically, only strongly reduced substances, such as glucose, trace elements, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fat cells, can get into the body [10].

Since the intestinal cells are closely connected by protein connections, the so-called “tight junctions“, larger substances cannot pass through. In Leaky Gut Syndrome, the function of these connecting proteins is disturbed. This means that larger substances can enter the bloodstream, which the intestine would normally excrete or convert [11].

The term “leaky gut” as an independent clinical picture is not yet widespread in medicine and is more ascribed to alternative medicine [12]. Many doctors are familiar with this syndrome, but use different terms. They speak more of a disturbance of the intestinal permeability, of a disturbed intestinal barrier or an increased permeability of the intestinal mucous membrane [13].

However, the basic existence of this dysfunction is undisputed.

Many people suffer from parasites in the intestine, mostly without knowing it [14]. Whether you could also be affected can be found out quickly and free of charge using our online parasite test.

In the intestine, parasites actively attack the intestinal wall in order to penetrate through the smallest holes into the bloodstream and thus optionally into all organs of the human body [16]. There they settle and spread. The consequence is a systemic parasite infestation [17].

However, parasites can also passively trigger and promote the leaky gut syndrome. Intestinal parasites release toxins into the intestines, which are harmful to the „Tight junctions“ between the intestinal mucosal cells [18]:

Intestinal worms store environmental toxins such as aluminum or mercury in their bodies [19]. When released, these toxins can cause inflammation in the gut, which promotes a leaky gut [20].

In addition, parasites phagocytize beneficial bacteria in the intestine [21]. These important microbes protect not only the intestinal mucosa [22], butalso inhibit “negative” intestinal bacteria [23]. Due to parasitic influence, the harmful bacteria multiply to a pathogenic level, which in turn has a negative effect on the permeability of the intestinal wall [24].

The parasitically induced intestinal fault symbiosis has another consequence:
Together with the parasites, the “negative” intestinal bacteria create a film of mucus, the so-called Biofilm [25].

The Biofilm consists toxic mucus secretions of pathogenic intestinal bacteria and parasites [26]. So there is a poisonous film on the intestinal wall.

The permanent release of toxins from the biofilm damages the “tight junctions” [27]. In addition, the areas of the intestinal wall covered by this dry, which can cause further damage [28].

Certain foods can cause damage to the intestinal wall, especially with a corresponding predisposition [30].

These include:

Any food that cannot be digested forms fusel alcohol [31]. These act as solvents on the tight junctions [32].

Sugar damages the intestinal wall and promotes inflammation in the intestine [33]. In addition, he lets intestinal fungi grow, which in turn can promote Leaky Gut [34]. A high-carbohydrate diet with grains and sugar also promotes parasites in the intestines [35].

Pesticides in plant and animal foods inhibit “positive” intestinal bacteria [36] and thus promote “negative” bacteria and parasites in the intestine [37]. Among other things, health-promoting bacterial strains have the task of controlling parasite infestation [38] .

Through water, air, food and other factors, we ingest ever larger amounts of environmental toxins [39], which can cause damage and inflammation in the intestine [40].

Persistent negative stress causes positive intestinal bacteria to a high degree perish [42] and promotes the spread of parasites in the body. Three mechanisms are responsible for the latter:

• • Stress removes oxygen from the body. The less oxygen in the blood, the faster parasites can grow [43] .
  • Stress increases acidic metabolic products [44]. These promote parasites [45] and disrupt the mineral balance of the body [46], indicating the spread of parasites [47].

also supports the body

• Positive intestinal bacteria , the natural regulator of parasites, perish due to stress.

By taking antibiotics or passive exposure, e.g. by meat from factory farming , positive intestinal bacteria are inhibited [49]. This can lead to leaky bowel syndrome and the spread of parasites in it.

Radiation and electrosmog (e.g. mobile phone or WiFi) kill positive intestinal bacteria [51] and, according to alternative practitioner Alan E. Baklayan, represent one of the largest growth factors for parasites [52].

The overall context clearly shows that parasites play a decisive role in every known cause of leaky gut syndrome. They damage the intestines actively, passively and through various other factors.

The empirical values collected and evaluated in our association show that a leaky intestine in all cases known to us by a Parasite treatment has been cured.

In addition to parasites, the diet is a major factor in the development of a leaky intestine.
Those foods and additives which studies show damage the intestinal wall and thus lead to leaky gut syndrome are [53]:

• Alcohol
• Coffee
• Sugar
• Gluten
• Aspartame

• Whey protein / casein protein
• Cereal products (especially whole grains)
• Legumes (beans, lentils, peas…)

• Corn products
• Raw vegetables
• Meat and sausage from factory farming
• Meat from animals that have been given concentrated feed (maize, grain)

• Fish from conventional aquaculture
• Foods containing lectin and solanine (e.g. tomatoes, peppers, some nuts / kernels)

• Soy products
• potatoes
• Foods containing histamine (e.g. pineapple, chocolate, hard cheese, yeast)

First and foremost, those affected should have a holistic parasite cure perform to the Root cause to fix the Leaky Gut Syndrome.

In addition to the Treatment of intestinal parasites correct nutrition is important for the healing of the holey intestine.

Foods that we particularly recommend at Leaky Gut are:

• Pasture broth (collagen can close tight junctions)
• Plantains / cooked bananas
• Xylitol / xylitol instead of sugar
• Yacon syrup as a sugar substitute (has a prebiotic effect)
• Soaked flax seeds
• Fermented food, e.g. “Kimchi” (has a probiotic effect)
• Psyllium husks
• Foods containing L-glutamine and omega-3
• Pasture-raised meat
• Raw dairy products from grazing
• Free-catch and clean-water fish
• Cabbage, cooked, of organic quality (e.g. kale)

• Regular diarrhea
• Flatulence
• Digestive problems
• Regular abdominal pain

• Skin problems
• Hair fall
• Skin inflammation
• Chronic fatigue / lack of energy
• Decreased efficiency

• Regular headache
• „Fog in the head“ („Brain-Fog“)
• Difficulty concentrating

• Obesity
• Food intolerance
• Muscle and joint pain
• Muscle spasms

• Hashimoto
• Asthma
• Skin diseases
• Migraines
• Allergies
• Celiac Disease
• Depression
• Alzheimer’s
• Type I diabetes mellitus
• Obesity
• Crohn’s disease
• Ulcerative colitis
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Lupus erythematosus
• Rheumatoid arthritis („rheumatism“)

Since we are repeatedly asked whether the product Nutravya “Nutra Digest” by Dr. Perez has an effect on leaky gut syndrome, we took a closer look at this remedy:

1.) Testimonials
The positive reports on the manufacturer’s website were published with photos from a photo database. As a result, we have doubts about the authenticity of the reports. There are many negative experiences about Nutra Digest on the internet.

2.) The ingredients
The ingredients are Kombucha extract and artificial Vitamin E. This can not bring about a healing of the leaky gut. Synthetic vitamin E also contains mirror isomers, which are carcinogenic [54].

3.) The side effects
Many users report abdominal pain after taking Nutra Digest. This could be due to the poor quality of the product.

4.) The effect
It can no effect be detected.

5.) The seriousness
According to customer statements, there seem to be problems with order processing.

The first and most important step of a leaky gut treatment is the implementation of a holistic parasite cure.
You can find out what such a cure looks like and what you should pay attention to in our large parasite cure guide:

If performed correctly, this therapy removes the cause of the leaky bowel and the bowel can move into the healing phase.
This can be supported by the following measures:

• Implementation of the Diet recommendations from this article
• Exercise regularly (anti-inflammatory)
• Reduction of belly fat (anti-inflammatory)
• Ingestion of bentonite and MSM (accelerates the healing process)
