What Is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
9. Foods to Avoid
People who have a leaky gut would benefit from a change in diet. There are some foods that are damaging to gut health and lead to increased inflammation and unhealthy gut bacteria levels. Both of these are associated with leaky gut and other health conditions.
It is a good idea to steer clear of foods containing gluten. Wheat is the biggest culprit, but there are others to watch out for, including barley, rye, oats and seitan. A number of sauces also contain gluten, such as soy sauce and salad dressings. Avoid consuming processed meats and dairy products, as well as junk food, alcohol, sugary drinks and carbonated beverages.
