Leaky Gut Syndrome

welcome to leakygut.co.uk

It has been said that Leaky Gut Syndrome affects millions of people worldwide. Leaky Gut Syndrome is a chronic debilitating condition that often goes undiagnosed by the mainstream medical profession, as many doctors do not provide testing for leaky gut (increased intestinal permeability) or acknowledge that the condition exists. Many people are not even aware that they are suffering from a 'leaky gut'.

Dr James A Ferrel MD claims "The Leaky Gut Syndrome may be the cause of many 'etiology unknown' illness. LGS may also explain many of the symptoms patients have that confound and confuse many physicians. In my opinion Leaky Gut Syndrome is grossly under considered as a 'mainstream' medicine diagnosis." (Dr Ferrel, www.lifedynamix.com)

My favourite online supplement store is Iherb in the U.S. because of their fantastic range of products, incredibly inexpensive prices and shipping, fast delivery and wonderful customer service. This is where I buy all my supplements from, even though I live in the UK! (which is testament to how good they are because even with import duty and VAT I'd still rather shop from there). First time buyers at Iherb can get a $5 discount off their first order by using the code DAW513 at the checkout in the promo code box. You can check out some of my product reviews on my Iherb page.
