Share this news:

Proactive Wellness Centers (703-822-5003) has announced an update to its intestinal permeability diagnosis and treatment service. The Vienna, VA clinic serves patients in Idylwood, Tysons, Merrifield, and the surrounding areas.

-- The recently updated service includes the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal permeability, otherwise known as leaky gut syndrome. Following a three-step treatment plan, Proactive Wellness Centers helps patients restore normal functionality of their gut by diagnosing and treating the underlying condition.

Intestinal permeability is often caused by specific food sensitivities. The abnormally large gaps between the cells of the gut wall allow toxic materials to pass through, leading to inflammation. This can cause several uncomfortable symptoms including gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. With the latest update, Proactive Wellness Centers supports patients in identifying the underlying root cause of their leaky gut before undergoing treatment.

The medical practice diagnoses intestinal permeability using food sensitivity testing. “Positive indicators for leaky gut include anti-zonulin antibodies, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and anti-actin antibodies,” says a representative for the center. “These are direct indicators of leaky gut and can be found on many of the specialized tests for gut issues.”

Once leaky gut syndrome has been diagnosed, patients are offered a three-step treatment plan beginning with specific food elimination. Any food sensitivities identified in the diagnostic test are completely eliminated from a patient’s diet, explains Dr. Lawson, with patients advised to also cut down on alcohol consumption and strenuous exercise.

The second treatment step involves the implementation of a special leaky gut protocol to facilitate gut healing and eliminate toxins. Patients can expect treatment of mild intestinal permeability to take 3 months, with more severe cases taking up to 9 months. Once healing appears to be complete, the center will administer a final test, evaluating patients for symptom elimination and gut restoration.

One satisfied patient said: “I’ve had great experiences with Proactive Wellness Center. After years of being misunderstood and dismissed by other physicians, I finally received a correct diagnosis from Dr. Lawson in March 2023 and I’ve been improving (to a significant extent) since then. Everyone here is very knowledgeable and kind, and my questions are always addressed in a timely manner to my satisfaction. I truly feel like I am in good hands.”
