This message is in response to the recent post citing "leaky gut" as causing 
gluten-like symptoms, and recommending "aggressive therapy" for leaky gut. 
[see below]

I would like to say that I have been aware of having leaky gut for many 
years, but unfortunately the medial community hadn't yet caught on and so 
more than one doctor has scorned my crazy ideas....  Now of course, they're 
finally getting it.

Dr. Fasano and his team at www.albatherapeutics.com are currently testing 
the zonulin-blocking drug AT-1000 which was designed to stop intestinal 
permeability [leaky gut] - and from the trials so far, it looks like it's 
going to work.

But this drug isn't designed to "cure" anything or to function as 
"aggressive therapy" - it's a stop-gap measure intended to be taken prior to 
each gluten-containing meal. That's nice and I'm sure it will be handy for 
lots of people with gluten issues, however I would prefer to take a therapy 
(drug, food, supplements, whatever) that will bring more permanent results.

Does anyone know what is this "aggressive therapy for reducing leaky gut" ??

I would like to try it.

- I am not a doctor but I can read ...


Increased intestinal permeability or "leaky gut" caused by celiac
disease may release significant amounts of bacterial endotoxins which
in turn may be responsible for depression, fatigue, and other mental
and physical dysfunction.  The following study clearly makes the point.
It may not be gluten, but bacterial endotoxins that are responsible for
many symptoms blamed on gluten toxicity.  Treatment for celiac
disease should, therefore, include aggressive therapy for
reducing "leaky gut".
