Leaky gut refers to increased intestinal permeability, where the gut lining becomes compromised. Common symptoms include bloating, food sensitivities, fatigue, and digestive discomfort. A naturopathic approach focuses on identifying root causes, supporting gut repair, and restoring microbiome balance through personalised care.
What is Leaky Gut?
Leaky gut refers to increased intestinal permeability, where the gut lining becomes weakened.
Normally, the gut acts as a protective barrier β allowing nutrients to pass through while keeping harmful substances out. When this barrier is disrupted, substances such as bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles may pass through, contributing to inflammation and immune responses.
Common Symptoms of Leaky Gut
Leaky gut can present in many ways, including:
- Digestive symptoms (bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhoea)
- Food sensitivities and intolerances
- Skin conditions (eczema, acne, rosacea)
- Fatigue and low energy
- Brain fog and poor concentration
- Mood changes and anxiety
- Immune-related concerns

What Causes Leaky Gut?
Leaky gut is rarely caused by a single factor. Common contributors include:
- Long-term stress and nervous system imbalance
- Antibiotic use or medications
- Poor diet and processed foods
- Gut infections, parasites, or microbial imbalance
- Hormonal changes
- Environmental exposures
Many patients with leaky gut also experience overlapping symptoms with IBS or SIBO. Understanding the difference can help guide the right support approach.
