Leaky Gut Treatment: Diet

Eating a healthy, nutritious diet has been shown to decrease leaky gut symptoms and can aid in healing the damage to the gut. This leaky gut diet can be important in reversing the damage caused by the inflammation and perforation. Avoid highly refined sugars and carbohydrates, overly fatty foods and foods which may cause an allergic reaction. Increase lean meats and proteins and vegetables. Avoid alcohol and overuse of pain medication. Make sure to drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly. Finally, candida yeast can be a factor in a leaky gut, so taking supplements to promote the balance of friendly flora, such as probiotics and colostrum, will help keep your GI tract healthy.
