Gut Health Center: SIBO, Leaky Gut, Bloating & Root-Cause Healing

Bloating, reflux, urgency and food reactions are not a personality trait, and another elimination diet is not a plan. The gut sits at the center of immunity, mood, skin and hormones, so when it is off, everything downstream is too. This center maps the drivers and gathers everything we have published on the subject.

Signs your gut is the driver

  • Bloating that builds through the day, regardless of what you eat
  • Constipation, loose stools or swinging between the two
  • A growing list of foods you "can't tolerate"
  • Skin flares, brain fog or low mood that track with digestion
  • Reflux or heaviness after meals

Symptoms tell you the gut is struggling. They do not tell you why. That is the work.

The root causes we look for

1. Overgrowth and imbalance

SIBO, yeast and dysbiosis change how food is broken down and create gas, inflammation and cravings.

2. Intestinal permeability

Increased intestinal permeability is a research finding, not a stand-alone diagnosis. No blood or stool test is currently validated to diagnose “leaky gut syndrome,” so results need clinical context.

3. Toxins and infections

Mold, metal exposure and some infections may affect the microbiome. See our Mold & CIRS Center, Heavy Metals Center and Lyme Disease Center.

4. Stress and the nervous system

Digestion needs the rest-and-digest state. A stress response that never switches off slows motility and weakens the lining. See the Anxiety & Nervous System Center.

Frequently asked questions

What is the root cause of constant bloating?

Common drivers are bacterial or yeast overgrowth, low stomach acid or enzymes, food reactions, slow motility and a stressed nervous system. Often several stack together, which is why single fixes fade.

Is leaky gut real?

Increased intestinal permeability is a recognised finding in research. It is best treated as a sign pointing to something upstream, such as inflammation, infection or stress, rather than a diagnosis on its own.

Does the Root Cause Snapshot test my gut?

No. The $47 Root Cause Snapshot is a written root-cause read connecting your mental, emotional and physical layers. It does not include lab testing. Testing happens in DNA Precision and Private Concierge.
