Intestinal Permeability Test
This test measures the clearance of two non-metabolized sugars (lactulose and mannitol) from the body and identifies malabsorption. Gastrointestinal malabsorption, or leaky gut, can reduce nutrient absorption, lower amino acid levels, negatively impact growth and be indicative of infection or inflammation. Those struggling with GI issues may find it useful to better understand the integrity of their gut absorption. Run with the Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity Test for a more comprehensive evaluation of gut permeability and inflammation.
