Q I was also diagnosed with IBS. Can leaky gut and IBS be treated together?
A IBS and leaky gut share a common foundation of gut microbiota imbalance and decreased intestinal mucosal function, so treating them together creates great synergy. An approach that improves the intestinal environment as a whole, rather than treating each symptom separately, is more effective.
Detailed Answer
Increased intestinal mucosal permeability is confirmed in a significant proportion of IBS patients, and the two conditions form a mutually worsening cycle. Restoring gut microbiota and reducing mucosal inflammation also improves bowel pain, diarrhea, and constipation associated with IBS.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine treatment centered on spleen-stomach transformation recovery to improve the intestinal environment is particularly effective when the two conditions overlap. Please inform us of your IBS diagnosis history during the visit so it can be reflected in the prescription.
