Leaky Gut & Gluten Sensitivity Testing

Leaky Gut & Gluten Sensitivity Testing - What is it?

Many chronic symptoms – from bloating and fatigue to autoimmune conditions – can be traced back to a disrupted gut barrier or undiagnosed gluten sensitivity. 

At Body Bliss Nutrition, Jennifer Clemente uses advanced testing to uncover hidden digestive imbalances, helping you heal from the inside out.

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal,” but you still don’t feel right, this is where we dig deeper.

Leaky Gut & Gluten Sensitivity Testing

Leaky Gut (also known as intestinal permeability) occurs when the lining of your small intestine becomes damaged, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and microbes to enter the bloodstream. This can trigger systemic inflammation, immune responses, and a host of health issues.

Gluten Sensitivity – even without celiac disease – can inflame the gut lining, contribute to leaky gut and trigger systemic inflammation. Many people react to gluten with symptoms such as brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, intestinal discomfort and skin problems, even if standard celiac tests are negative.

Jennifer uses cutting-edge tests like:

  • Vibrant Labs Wheat Zoomer gluten peptide testing
  • Zonulin & actin markers for intestinal permeability
  • Anti-gliadin and transglutaminase antibodies for gluten sensitivity
    Celiac markers
  • Comprehensive stool testing and food sensitivity panels to assess inflammation and immune response

These results provide a roadmap for restoring gut health and reducing systemic inflammation.

Jennifer’s Leaky Gut & Gluten Approach

You don’t have to live with bloating, fatigue, or food fears. With the right testing and support, the gut can heal.
Gluten sensitivity is real—even without celiac disease. If your body is reacting, it’s worth listening.
Investigate & Test
Jennifer starts by reviewing your full health history, symptoms, and triggers. She recommends the most appropriate testing based on your case—this may include zonulin levels, IgG food sensitivity panels, or comprehensive stool testing to evaluate gut barrier function and gluten reactivity.
Repair & Rebalance
Once test results are in, Jennifer creates a personalized gut-healing protocol. This may involve: A temporary elimination of gluten and other trigger foods Gut-repairing nutrients like L-glutamine, zinc, and collagen Targeted probiotics and antimicrobial herbs Lifestyle changes to reduce stress and support the gut-brain axis You’ll follow a structured plan to reduce inflammation, close gaps in the intestinal lining, and reset immune tolerance.
Reintroduce & Maintain
After the gut has begun healing, Jennifer guides you through a careful food reintroduction process (if applicable) and teaches you how to maintain long-term gut integrity. This phase includes education on gluten-free living (if needed), immune system support, and sustainable diet and lifestyle habits to prevent relapse.
