Leaky Gut Testing in Denver
Bloating after every meal, skin that flares for no reason, and a list of foods that keeps growing. That is a gut barrier problem, and it is testable.
Why the symptoms rarely look like gut symptoms
When the intestinal barrier loosens, the immune system starts reacting to things it was never meant to see. That reaction shows up far from the gut: eczema, joint aches, brain fog, fatigue, headaches, and sudden sensitivity to foods you ate your whole life. Treating the skin or the joints alone never resolves it, because the barrier is still open.

Common questions
What is leaky gut?
Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, is when the tight junctions of the intestinal lining loosen and particles that should stay in the digestive tract pass into the bloodstream. The immune system reacts, and that reaction shows up as bloating, skin issues, joint pain, fatigue and food sensitivities that keep multiplying.
How do you test for leaky gut in Denver?
We use a Genova comprehensive stool analysis to look at digestion, absorption, inflammation markers, bacterial balance and yeast, paired with food allergy testing across more than 100 foods and, when indicated, SIBO breath testing. These panels report more than twenty markers each, so we read patterns rather than one value.
What symptoms point to leaky gut?
Bloating after most meals, alternating constipation and loose stools, eczema or unexplained rashes, joint aches, brain fog, fatigue, and a growing list of foods that suddenly bother you.
How long does it take to heal?
Most patients notice digestive changes within four to eight weeks of following their plan. Full repair of the lining and calming the immune reaction usually takes three to six months, and we retest rather than assume.
Do I need to live in Denver?
No. We see patients in person in Greenwood Village, minutes from Centennial and Littleton, and we work with patients nationwide through virtual consults with lab kits shipped to their homes.
Is testing covered by insurance?
We are a cash based clinic, which is what allows us to run comprehensive panels rather than the limited set most insurers approve. HSA and FSA funds are commonly used, and financing is available through Affirm.
