What Are The Symptoms Of Leaky Gut?

Is there a stool test or blood test to determine if I have leaky gut? My gp does not think it exists but when I cut out sugar my psoriatic arthritis improves greatly. Thanks. I am 38, 9 stone, have food intolerance to dairy, wheat, egg and yeast, and have suffered with Psoriatic Arthritis for 20 years.

Hello,

For any disease, provisional diagnosis is must and just to looking this or for confirmation, physician suggested the concern test, it is not that just on the basis of symptoms test being done and even for weird kind of symptom, there is no any test available which confirmed the leaked gut.

If it is the arthritis you have and you got relief by changing the diet then it could be placebo effect or could be pure effect of diet change in either of this condition it is better to keep the changed diet as it is.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
