Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / July 2006Does Caffeine Increase Intestinal Permeability?
Can someone point me to some studies that show caffeine (esp from teas) increase intestinal premeability? I couldn't draw a conclusion based on articles at pubmed using "caffeine" and "intestinal permeability" or "muscosal permeability" or "ulcer" as search terms? Would a cup of black or green tea per day be beneficial or detrimental for a person with "Leak Gut Syndrome"? > Can someone point me to some studies that show caffeine (esp from teas) > increase intestinal premeability?

Huh? I think that it would simply be better to cure the leak gut, than to worry about caffeine. > No!

You are right, but I haven't been able to using a diet based primarily on fresh salads, vegetables, beans and olive oil (these are least problematic to me) with a wide assortment of supplements over the past year. What would you suggest? > > No!

What would you suggest? Well, I really have no idea. The person who owns the problem should be the one to do all the work, as he is the one who has to make all the decisions. Seems to me, that you should also be motivated enough to want to do something about it. A good place to start would be to start reading through the literature, such as: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=Alternative+health+l eaky+gut+syndrome%22+treatment+OR+therapy+OR+cure&btnG=Search After a while, you should be able to come up with a number of possible causes of your problem. And, possible treatments. You need to start thinking about what you might have done wrong in the first place to cause the problem. Sometimes, you will get fast results. And, sometimes it might take you a couple of years before you finally identify the real problem. > You need to start thinking about what you might have done wrong in the first place to cause the problem. Been sort of a health nut most of my life, avoiding cooking oils, fried foods, junk food, colas, chips, cake, donuts, snack foods, candies, limited meats (mostly chicken and fish, avoided red) and was vegetarian at times. In the past, the two most prevalent foods in my diet were whole milk (including yogurt) and whole grains. I now have allergic reactions to both of them. > After a while, you should be able to come up with a number of possible causes of your problem. And, possible treatments. Articles similar to "Leaky Gut Syndromes: Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Leo Galland seem to fit my situation. Quite few of them advise to avoid caffeine as they supposedly increase intestinal permeability. > > You need to start thinking about what you might have done wrong in the first place to cause the problem. > > whole grains. I now have allergic > reactions to both of them. I recall one web page on Leaky Gut Syndrome that said it was associated with celiac disease. Could be that you are allergic to gluten. So, you might want to check celiac disease out. It sounds like arachidonic acid overload, mostly. Other things, such as carrageenan consumption, may be playing a role.
