Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hi all, I've just been on the diet a week and half. I saw my new GI today (old GI and I didn't agree on things) and he wants to do an intestinal permeability test to determine if I have leaky gut. He told me that I would need to drink a sugar solution. Have any of you had this test during the diet? How did it affect you? Do I need to start all over again after the test? Thanks, Holly O.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I could see the use of a leaky gut test in order to establish a baseline. This could provide a point from which to measure progress over time. I keep copies of all my old test results and find them very useful at times when I am trying to identify trends or understand progress.

I wouldn't worry about the test result because if that is the problem then you already started the solution. I agree. What would you really do differently if you DID have leaky gut?
