Tests such as comprehensive stool testing and calprotectin testing are used to determine the level of gut inflammation and the presence of gut dysbiosis. Dr. Alami will work with you to develop a personalized gut healing plan that includes dietary counselling and the use of the right supplements to support the gut microbiome and improve gut function.
Dietary counselling is a key aspect of treating leaky gut. Dr. Alami will recommend a diet that is rich in fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics to support gut health and reduce inflammation. He may also suggest removing certain foods that can worsen leaky gut symptoms and cause gut dysbiosis.
In addition to dietary changes, supplements can play a crucial role in repairing the gut lining and reducing inflammation. Dr. Alami may recommend supplements, such as L-glutamine, slippery elm, and deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), to help heal the gut and improve gut function.
