How to test for leaky gut & BBB?

Re: How to test for leaky gut & BBB?
I am not aware of any, or at least none of any of quality. My doctor ordered "Zoomers" for me, yes that's the name: Zoomers offered by the lab Vibrant America. These are tests which identify sensitivities to various foods: corn, lectins, eggs, dairy, wheat, etc. and through those I got an overall assessment of my intestinal permeability. These were very thorough tests with lots of helpful information, but they were also not paid for by my insurance, so not cheap.slinkystrudels wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 12:09 pm Hi , are there tests we can do at home to test

Similarly for leaky BBB, I am not aware of home tests. If a person has a leaky gut, given the connection between the gut and the brain, one can probably assume leaky BBB, but that's a generalization.
Our wiki Gut-Brain Connection: Leaky Gut/Leaky Brain, Microbiome (gut bugs) has a subsection which discusses symtoms that indicate leaky gut, that might help.
