Guide To The Leaky Gut Diet

Foods To Avoid Eating

The leaky gut diet focuses on natural, fiber- and probiotic-rich foods, including vegetables, lean meat, fruit, and cultured dairy. Foods to avoid eating on this diet include anything heavily processed, gluten-rich foods, and foods high in sugar or saturated fat. This includes junk food, red meat, fried food, and wheat-based products. Alcohol and fruit juice should also be avoided. Fruit juice is high in sugar, while alcohol is believed to contribute to damage to the intestinal lining that can cause or worsen leaky gut. Conventional milk should also be avoided as it can cause digestive sensitivities. Instead, choose nut or soy products and get dairy from kefir or yogurt, which offer probiotic benefits.
