The Leaky Gut Diet and 5 Healing Food
#1 Bone Broth – broth contains collagen and the amino acids proline and glycine that can help heal your damaged cell walls. I’ve had many of my patients do a bone broth fast for three days to help heal leaky gut and cure autoimmune disease.
#2 Raw Cultured Dairy – contains probiotics and SCFA’s that can help heal the gut. Pastured kefir, butter and raw cheese are some of the best.
#3 Fermented Vegetables – contain organic acids that balance intestinal pH and probiotics to support the gut. Sauerkraut is excellent source.
#4 Coconut Products – all coconut products are especially good for your gut. Also, coconut kefir contains probiotics that support your digestive system.
#5 Sprouted Seeds – but if you have severe leaky gut, you may need to start out getting your fiber from steamed vegetables and fruit.
Also, foods that have omega-3 fats are beneficial —
anti-inflammatory foods like grass-fed beef, lamb and wild-caught salmon.
