Here are the suggestions for healing a leaky gut:

> L-glutamine in large doses- a powerful leaky gut healer
> Probiotics in large doses, plus probiotic foods
> HCL with every meal
> Digestive Enzymes with every meal

> Get a copy of the book  "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by Phyllis 
> Balch.

> Don't talk to the medical community. They don't know, and it is much 
> better
for your body to eat good food and use a couple of supplements.

> Just took the test for intestinal permeability (leaky gut).  It's a urine 
> test.  Mine came back positive, so my N.D. has started me on an aggressive 
> intake of Glutamine and another supplement called Oxyperm.  My test also 
> showed lactose problems, so she has ordered me to have a 
> lactose-intolerance test as well.  If you google Leaky Gut there is a 
> really great UK website about it.  I think it's www.leakygut.co.uk  It has 
> a lot of information and talks about treatment options as well.

> There is no specific treatment for leaky gut.  Companies like Nuvelo ( 
> http://nuvelo.com ) are developing drugs (NU206) to promote intestinal 
> growth and regeneration.  Vitamin D has been recently
demonstrated to play a key role in intestinal mucosal barrier maintenance 
and healing.  Start with vitamin D.  Naturopathic remedies also exist. 
Probiotics can help to crowd out mucosal colonization by
harmful bacteria which, when their toxic effects are reduced or eliminated, 
may also help the gut to heal.  Betaine HCl and digestive enzymes for 
hypochlorhydria can also help.
