5. Other Digestive Problems
You might also experience other digestive problems if you have leaky gut syndrome. Besides the irritable bowel syndrome and the associated conditions, you might also suffer from diarrhea and constipation. Both of these can be pretty common symptoms, and that can make them difficult to recognize if they are part of a disease like intestinal permeability. But digestive problems can definitely point to this disease.
There are two things that you can do to try to figure out whether the symptoms that you are experiencing are just normal or part of a disease like intestinal permeability. Are these illnesses attributable to other sources and do you have more than one symptom at once. For example, if you are experiencing two or more of the following you might have “leaky gut”: constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, excessive gas, bloating and burping. Talk to your doctor if you think these symptoms are problem.
