A leaky gut test evaluates biomarkers associated with the function of the intestinal barrier. This barrier is responsible for regulating what is absorbed into the bloodstream.
When its function is altered, it may be associated with:
Important:
We do not diagnose “leaky gut syndrome” as a standalone medical condition. Testing is used to support clinical assessment and guide personalised care.
Skin is not only affected by topical factors — it reflects internal health, particularly the gut and immune system.
Emerging research suggests links between intestinal permeability and:
At Dr Vincent Clinic, we combine:
to address skin concerns from the inside out, not just at the surface.
The Synlab leaky gut assessment evaluates biomarkers related to intestinal barrier function and immune response.
Depending on the panel, this may include:
All results are reviewed within a clinical consultation, ensuring interpretation is accurate and personalised.
At Dr Vincent Clinic, testing is part of a structured medical process, not a standalone service.
Unlike many nutrition clinics, we combine dermatology + diagnostics + nutrition.
We treat skin as part of a complex biological system — not as an isolated cosmetic concern.
Step 1: Medical Consultation
Medical history, skin assessment, and discussion of symptoms.
Step 2: Test Selection
We determine whether leaky gut testing is clinically appropriate.
Step 3: Sample Collection
Simple and guided sample process.
Step 4: Results & Interpretation
Detailed review with explanation of findings.
Step 5: Personalised Plan
Nutrition, lifestyle, and (if needed) dermatological treatments.
The term is commonly used to describe intestinal permeability. Testing is used as part of a broader clinical assessment rather than a standalone diagnosis.
No. It provides supportive information that may help guide treatment strategies.
Not always. We assess each case individually before recommending testing.
Typically 1–2 weeks, depending on the laboratory.
Suitability is assessed during consultation.
Start with a medical consultation so we can assess suitability, understand your goals, and create a natural, personalised plan.
