Bloating is a common symptom of a leaky gut, where gaps in the gut lining allow food particles to pass through without approval from the immune system. This can lead to new food allergies and symptoms such as inflammation, joint pain, skin reactions, and headaches. In more severe cases, a leaky gut can set you up for autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s.
To address bloating and fix a leaky gut, it’s important to identify the root causes. The seven most common culprits include vitamin D deficiency, seed oils, raw vegetables, lectins, fiber, sugar, and gluten. Ensuring you have enough vitamin D, glutamine, and zinc, as well as giving your digestive system a chance to rest and repair through fasting, can help heal your gut.
Dr. Eric Berg emphasizes the importance of addressing gut health for overall well-being. By making dietary changes and incorporating key nutrients, you can work towards reducing bloating and improving your gut health.

Today, we’re going to talk about bloating, the number one symptom associated with a leaky gut. If you have a leaky gut, you have crevices and holes in your gut where food particles and substances can travel through without a stamp of approval from the immune system.
For example, if you have a leaky gut and egg protein gets through, your immune system will respond as if it’s a virus, bacteria, or pathogen. The next time you eat eggs, you could have an immune reaction.
If you have a leaky gut, you’ll notice new food allergies along with the following symptoms:
•Inflammation
•Joint pain
•Skin reactions (e.g. psoriasis, dermatitis)
•Headaches
The most damaging side effect of a leaky gut is the development of autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.
To get rid of bloating, you’ll need to address the cause of a leaky gut. Check out the 7 most common causes of a leaky gut:
1. Vitamin D deficiency
2. Seed oils
3. Raw vegetables
4. Lectins
5. Fiber
6. Sugar
7. Gluten
Even if you correct your diet, you must ensure you have enough vitamin D to fix your leaky gut. Get plenty of sun without burning, or take 20,000 IU of vitamin D every day.
Glutamine is crucial for gut health. Red meat is the best source of glutamine. Cabbage, bone broth, eggs, and kefir are also good sources. Zinc is also important for gut health. Oysters, shellfish, seafood, and sea kelp are the best sources. Fasting gives your digestive system a chance to rest and repair if you have a leaky gut.
