There are a number of symptoms associated with leaky gut syndrome. Since many practitioners do not recognize the syndrome as a real condition, it can be difficult to receive a diagnosis. Leaky gut syndrome may be the cause of symptoms such as chronic diarrhea, bloating or constipation. Headaches and difficulty concentrating are possible, as well as overall fatigue.

A person with excess permeability in the gut may experience nutrient deficiencies. Skin problems are possible, including eczema, rashes and acne. The condition can result in systemic inflammation. The potential exists for people with leaky gut syndrome to experience joint pain.
