Abdominal bloating, visible distension of your tummy, chronic diarrhoea, excessive gas, flatulence and abdominal cramps and discomfort are all very common symptoms that anyone can have from time to time, and are usually due to overeating or consumption of unhealthy foods.
If these symptoms are frequent or disturbing, you may even have seen your doctor about it. They should resolve with healthy dietary habits and simple medication, but if they do not, you may be suffering from leaky gut syndrome.
Systemic symptoms of leaky gut, such as fatigue, body aches, joint pains, headaches and allergic rashes, are even less specific. Your doctor may fail to make the diagnosis of leaky gut syndrome as there are no clear clinical features. In fact, he may not even believe that such a condition exists!
