Our small intestine has a difficult job. It needs to let certain substances through its walls, but also needs to know when to keep things out (we call this 'selective permeability').

A healthy gut is selectively permeable. An unhealthy gut lets pathogens, undigested food and other unsavoury substances get into the bloodstream. This can lead to inflammation and a whole host of health problems.

For this test, you drink a sugary solution and then collect your urine for six hours afterwards. Through measuring the types of sugar that end up in your urine, we can determine if your gut is more permeable that it should be.  

Based on your results, you’ll receive targeted nutrition and lifestyle advice to enhance your gut integrity—and your health as a whole.

In a healthy person, your guts tightly control what can or can’t come through the intestinal wall. With this condition, the small intestine struggles to close the cell gaps. A lot of different substances come through the intestinal wall, which leads to inflammation - a precursor to all sorts of health conditions.

[prac_summary] => Leaky gut has been described as the gateway to disease, being able to test for this condition and get actionable insights is essential. [is_bundle] => [postage_fee] => 4.20 [vendor_fee] => 70.00 [dashboard_description] =>

Our test uses PEG (polyethylene glycol) and specialist ion exchange chromatography to investigate the presence of intestinal permeability. It helps to confirm if leaky gut is present, and is useful as either a stand-alone test or a follow up to monitor success after following nutritional protocols.

Dear

Congratulations on getting this far. I have reviewed your symptom survey and test results to create your personalised program.

Please read through my commentary below to understand more about your results.

The recommendations I've made will help the x, y, z symptoms, while dealing with any underlying imbalances, via food, lifestyle and supplement changes. 

Your results

Please find your Healthpath Leaky Gut Report attached, and the original results from the laboratory.

• You have tested negative for Leaky Gut.

• You have tested positive for Leaky Gut.

Even though these results are negative, I can create a beneficial program for you, based on your symptoms and history. It is designed to balance your microbiome and support your gut health, addressing the findings mentioned above.

Your recommendations

You can find the key features of your program in your dashboard. These include:

• Food, The Modified Healthpath Plate: I have selected this food plan for you, please follow it for 6-8 weeks. It is similar to the low FODMAP diet, and removes common antagonists while we target any imbalances with supplements and lifestyle changes.

• Food, The Healthpath Plate: A diverse diet is the best investment to long term health. Use this food plan as inspiration, after following the restricted diet. Go to Food for both food plans. 

• Supplements: I have hand-picked supplements, based on your test results and symptoms. Go to Supplements to learn more.

• Resources: I’ve included additional educational material, also based on your symptoms and test results. Take some time to read and watch these, as education is key to the next steps of your journey. Go to Resources.

I recommend that you follow this program for 8 - 12 weeks, using the Modified Healthpath plate first, changing gradually to the Healthpath plate from 6-8 weeks onwards.  

I have selected these from our library of evidence-based food plans, designed to improve gut health. This isn’t a prescription, instead the plans should act as a guide.

If you see foods that are a trigger for your symptoms, please feel free to swap them for others and aim to reintroduce later. Learn about our food approach

Additional suggestions 

To understand what else may be contributing to your symptoms, you may like to consider a SIBO breath test or a Gut Health test.  

A SIBO test helps to assess the balance of bacteria in the small bowel, and is particularly helpful if your bloating happens within 1 hour of eating. The Gut Health Test assesses the balance of bacteria in the large bowel. This can offer a deeper dive into the microbial ecosystem and identify any key imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms. 

Learn about our tests here

Given your history/test results/medications/nature of your symptoms, you may find it beneficial to work with a practitioner. I would recommend **add name** from our team, as they are very experienced with *xxx*. 

Meet our team though, to pick the practitioner that feels right for you. Learn about our consultations here.

What happens next

Grab a cuppa, and take some time to read through your results. Explore the recommendations and resources I’ve provided for you, in your dashboard. This is a great way to set yourself up for success. 

Rest assured, your plan has everything you need to get started. But we’re here to help if you need us.

Register for our support groups, run online, twice a month. 

Learn more about our service and the options available.

I do hope that this proves helpful for you.

As a final point, remember that test results are just one piece of your health puzzle. The best way to feel great is through small, targeted actions—and you have everything you need here to get started.

In health,

Martin Cohen
