Hi! I've been having some severe issues with leaky gut. Anyone have any help for me? I have been having some neuropathological issues like muscle twitching whenever I eat certain foods. My food sensitivities are getting worse, so I'm gonna try rotating my foods to never eating the same food within 3 days.

Thanks,
Rob

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups!

I see you've post already in a couple of the forums. I just wanted to also suggest the

Gluten Sensitivity / Celiac Disease Forum

just in case that is a possibility for your symptoms.

There is also a Forum Search Feature here. Specific condition forums or a whole Forum search can be done. Just need to type in the relevant keywords. e.g. there are many older posts in Gluten/Celiac Forum for "leaky gut".

All the best to you figuring out what's going on.

Thanks Lara,

Thanks so much for your reply! I've been gluten-free for several years now. Unfortunately my problem goes much further and deeper than that. I have progressive food sensitivities I'm dealing with.

Luckily, today I remembered that it might be due to my not taking my probiotics. Once I stopped taking it and started getting rashes on my abdomen, and when I resumed taking them, they went away. I might just be responding even worse this time after going off of them. I went back on them hard today and I think I'm feeling better already. I'll keep updating.

The probiotic I've been using is the SCD/GaPS Compliant one from Seeking Health. It has tons of histamine-degrading bacteria, if you're familiar with those and what they do.

Thanks again,
Rob

Hi Rob,

There's a short Leaky Gut Syndrome thread in the Allergies & Multiple Chemical Sensitivity forum.

Doc,

Thanks for the link! I actually did read that one today, and I saw that you were kind of skeptical of whether it exists. Leaky gut is very very very real! There are plenty of studies that corroborate it. It is actually the future of health.

Hippocrates said (and I hope I'm quoting correctly), "All health begins in the gut."

In my opinion, from all I've read, leaky gut is truly the cause of most if not all unexplainable autoimmune and neuropathological issues. If you'd like, I can dig up some links to PubMed articles, but at the moment, I'd rather just put it out there that it's for real, and you might benefit from reading up more on it.

Thanks,
Rob

Perhaps you misread/misconstrued me. "Leaky gut" is not the same as "Leaky Gut Syndrome".

I would be very interested in taking a look at any credible studies relating to "Leaky Gut Syndrome". I just checked PubMed and Goggle Scholar again, and still find nothing related to that term.

The reason I urge caution is the abundance of charlatans/quacks who use that term to sell sick suffering people worthless nostrums/remedies/treatments. I've been down that road, and was taken in myself out of naïvety and desperation (the bargaining stage of Kübler-Ross).
