Leaky Gut Test (Zonulin)
The Leaky Gut test measures zonulin, where high levels of zonulin are associated with a leaky gut. In leaky gut, particles like undigested food, toxins, and microbes pass through the intestinal barrier and spread into the bloodstream. This can disrupt the immune system, increase inflammation in the body, and contribute to various diseases.

Description of Leaky Gut Test (Zonulin)
Leaky gut, also known as intestinal permeability, is a condition where microscopic holes develop in the intestinal lining. This allows small particles like undigested food, bacteria, and other substances to pass through and end up in the bloodstream.
Since these particles typically don't belong there, the immune system interprets it as an attack and responds by attacking various tissues in the body. The consequences can range from hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism to psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, allergies, IBS, fatigue, and a host of other autoimmune diseases.
