Leaky gut (intestinal permeability) testing
Is leaky gut ruining your health?
In many people, gluten and other food proteins cause long-term inflammation in the gut, which eventually leads to intestinal permeability, or “leaky gut syndrome.” Leaky gut allows undigested food particles, bacteria, and other materials to enter into the bloodstream where they can trigger the immune system creating allergies, sensitivities, and inflammation in other parts of the body.
There are several different ways leaky gut can occur:
How can the leaky gut test help me?
This test processed by Cyrex Labs (array #2) pinpoints which of these is causing leaky gut so your practitioner knows what to specifically target for faster and more efficient gut repair. This test can also be used to monitor the intestinal support used by your doctors. As the leaky gut improves, you should see a improvement in your leaky gut test results.

The gut of those who are gluten intolerant can be damaged by gluten intake. This damage can lead to what many call “leaky gut syndrome”. This means that things like large food proteins and bacteria that are meant to stay within the lumen of the gut now enters into the blood. The body’s immune then reacts to naturalize the “foreign invaders”. This reaction creates inflammation, which if allowed to continue, can damage organs and lead to other chronic diseases. Testing for intestinal permeability is important in the recovery from long-term gluten exposure.

There are several different ways leaky gut can occur:
- Breakdown of intestinal cells
- Loosening of the junctions between cells
- Infections (bacteria, yeast, candida, etc.)
