Elemental Diet To Heal A Leaky Gut
stri8ed replied to stri8ed's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I feel you. It took me quite a while to get a handle on my situation. I found keeping a daily log (Google-Docs Spreadsheet) of my symptoms and reactions along with my food intake, was extremely helpful in discovering patterns and correlating the symptoms with specific foods, and eliminating them. There is actually a test which can measure the degree... -

Gotcha. Yea, dried fruit (figs, dates, apricots, prunes), White rice, Mackerel, chocolate, nuts, Oils (coconut, olive, etc..).

So perhaps you can tolerate more foods than you think. It... -

Hi. What I ended up doing was as follows: I Began a 4 day rotation diet, with an emphasis on keeping the protein content low. More specifically, For each food on the rotation diet, I limited the protein content to 15 - 20 grams (See here for why). As it turned out, I was still reacting to some of the foods on my rotation diet. But since I was rotating... -
At the moment I am in pretty tight situation, where I have developed allergies to all foods I have been eating, even while following a strict 4 day rotation diet. I assume I have a really severe case of leaky gut, which could explain why this is happening. Working with my doc, I have just taken the Lactulose/Mannitol intestinal permeability test, and...
