But  if you do like to enjoy a restaurant or two, you&#8217;ll want to check out my  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leakygutcure.com\/blog\/diet\/leaky-gut-diet-restaurant-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">leaky gut restaurant tips<\/a> so that you can eat out without having to worry about the negative effects of eating what is on your fork.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s get to it and look at 6 great leaky gut diet tips that you can start using today to start getting relief from your symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Stick to a Diet of Whole Foods<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your diet should consist primarily of fresh  meat and vegetables with the addition of limited whole grains, nuts,  seeds, and fresh fruits. Animal protein is a must. Stay away from  processed and packaged foods that contain lots of fillers and hidden  ingredients that may be driving your symptoms or conditions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Adjust Your Food Ratios<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We are all genetically and ethnically different. Some of  us do better with higher protein and others with higher carbohydrates  in our diet. Some do best with an equal balance. You want to find your  optimal food ratio. Don&#8217;t worry, it sounds harder than it really is.<\/p>\n<p>Start by testing both ends of the spectrum. Start with a  meal of primarily meat and less vegetables. How did you feel  afterwards? Then on the next day, try a meal with mostly vegetables,  some meat, and a small amount of grains. How did you feel afterwards?  Take the food ratio that you felt best with and then fine tune it from  there. After you fine tune, you now have your proper food ratios that  you should stick for all the meals.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Cook Your Veggies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When dealing with intestinal permeability, your  digestion is impaired and raw uncooked vegetables can be hard to digest.  It is best to cook them thoroughly to help assist your body to properly  digest them. In fact, a good leaky gut diet should focus primarily on  foods that are easy to digest.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Stay Away From Common Food Allergies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you suffer from intestinal permeability, then you  also suffer from food allergies. They both go hand in hand and are one  of the most commonly overlooked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leakygutcure.com\/blog\/leaky-gut-syndrome-treatment\/\">Leaky Gut Syndrome treatment<\/a> steps. You want to stay away from these foods and other foods that  contain them. Often times, avoiding these foods alone is enough to  alleviate many of your chronic symptoms. Your diet should be  designed to eliminate these common food allergies so that you can  properly heal and won&#8217;t have to avoid them forever.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Just a Few Common Leaky Gut Diet Food Allergies<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<li>Gluten found in wheat, rye, and barley<\/li>\n<li>Milk products found in milk and cheese<\/li>\n<li> Soy found in Tofu, vegetable oil, salad dressings, etc<\/li>\n<li> Sugar found in most processed foods<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>But your food allergies are not limited to these items  alone. You typically become allergic to many of the foods you commonly  eat. Determining your food allergies is easy with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leakygutcure.com\">Leaky Gut Cure<\/a> program I have put together.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Cut Out the Baked Goods, Cookies, and Pastries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These products are often made entirely of white flour  and sugar. These are two ingredients that are found on the list above  and should be avoided. They contain no nutritional value and actually  strip your body of much needed nutrients. But don&#8217;t worry though, there  are many great natural and healthy desert recipes that are allowed and  encouraged.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Switch Over to Natural Sea Salt<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All of the studies that show the adverse affects of salt  were done on toxic and processed white table salt. But you&#8217;re not going  to use that stuff on your leaky gut diet. Sodium chloride (salt) is a  very important element required for your body to function properly.<\/p>\n<p>A good quality Natural Sea Salt has natural trace  minerals and is in the form that your body can use best. It is not  bleached nor does it contain any toxic anti-caking agents. Throw out  your fake and processed salts (ie Morton&#8217;s). New Zealand Pacific or  Celtic Sea Salts are a great choice. If you have any question about your  sea salt, you&#8217;ll know you have the right stuff because it won&#8217;t be  white. Instead it will have pigment like gray or pink.<\/p>\n<p>These simple yet great diet tips alone can  take you a long way in getting relief from your chronic symptoms. This  is because diet is the foundation of health. That is the primary factor  as to why my holistic approach to healing gets such amazing long term success.<\/p>\n<p>My program is designed to optimize your leaky gut diet  to take your results to the next level and get rid of your symptoms and  conditions for good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you confused about what foods to eat on a leaky gut diet?
