See allGetTested’s Leaky Gut Test measures zonulin levels, which, when elevated, are associated with intestinal permeability (leaky gut syndrome). This condition allows particles such as undigested food, toxins, and microbes to pass through the intestinal barrier and enter the bloodstream. These breaches can disrupt the immune system, increase inflammation, and potentially contribute to the development of various diseases.
Our Leaky Gut Test often accompanies orders for the Celiac Rapid Test and/or the Gut Microbiome Small Test.

Understanding Leaky Gut Syndrome
Leaky gut syndrome (intestinal permeability) occurs when the intestines become damaged and excessively permeable. This allows particles such as undigested food and bacteria to pass into the bloodstream, triggering an immune response. This reaction may lead to various conditions, including hypothyroidism, psoriasis, allergies, and fatigue.
If left untreated, leaky gut can result in food intolerances, digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, skin conditions, and even depression. As many individuals may be unaware they have this condition, testing is crucial. Elevated zonulin levels are a significant marker for leaky gut and are commonly found in individuals with allergies, autoimmune diseases, and rheumatism. Therefore, regularly monitoring zonulin levels can aid in optimising overall health.
What is Zonulin?
Zonulin, a protein produced by intestinal and liver cells, plays a key role in regulating intestinal permeability. It controls the "tight junctions" between the cells of the digestive tract wall, allowing nutrients to pass into the bloodstream. However, when these junctions become damaged, larger protein molecules may leak through, potentially triggering inflammation.
Who Would Benefit from the Leaky Gut Test?
Our Leaky Gut Test, which measures zonulin levels, is particularly suitable for those experiencing intestinal issues. Additionally, for more complex gut issues, we recommend our comprehensive Gut Microbiome XL test. This test not only assesses the presence of leaky gut but also evaluates the status of your gut flora, including bacteria and fungal overgrowth (such as Candida), and digestive function.

Growing up, I had always been the person with an 'iron stomach' - able to devour any culinary delight without a second thought. So, when I began facing digestive woes, irregular energy levels, and even cognitive fog, it was both baffling and alarming. Numerous visits to medical professionals yielded a mosaic of non-specific advice, from "maybe it's just stress" to "perhaps you should get more sleep." Nothing seemed to resonate with the actual changes I was feeling within. A well-read colleague suggested exploring the idea of a 'leaky gut,' a concept I had never ventured into. Out of sheer desperation and curiosity, I sought out and found the Leaky Gut Test. From the outset, the journey was comforting. The test kit, which was delivered promptly, showcased an exemplary level of detail, ensuring even someone medically naive like myself could administer it without hitches. The entire procedure felt more interactive than clinical, making it less daunting. When the results arrived, they were an amalgamation of clarity, validation, and education. They didn't just stop at confirming a compromised gut lining; they delved deep, explaining the possible implications and underlying causes of such a condition. The insights were startling; highlighting how a disrupted gut could potentially ripple out, affecting a myriad of bodily functions, even ones I hadn't considered. With the data in hand, I took actionable steps. Partnering with a nutritionist, I embarked on a tailored healing regimen. Slowly but steadily, the fog lifted. Digestive episodes reduced, energy levels stabilized, and the constant mental fatigue began to wane. Reflecting back, I see the Leaky Gut Test not just as a diagnostic tool, but as a beacon - illuminating the path back to holistic health. For anyone submerged in the quagmire of unexplained health anomalies, this could be the guiding light you're desperately seeking. :) :) :)
