Here are the notes on IBS/Leaky Gut recommendations:

Supplement recommendations are:
Zinc, L-glutamine, Omega 3 fish oils, DGL licorice, Slippery Elm, Aloe vera, Vit. A, C, E, D, and B-vitamins.

Antimicrobial, Anti-inflammatory, Mucilogenous herbs, herbs with soluble fiber and Inulin rich herbs are a must.
Ex: Plantain, Violet, Chickweed, Cleavers, Mallow, Raw Irish Sea Moss, Burdock, Dandelion, Elecampane, Chicory, Jerusalem Artichoke, Artichoke leaf, Mushrooms, etc.

Probiotics:
-Genestra Human Strain Probiotics – I recommend the Intensive capsule (25 Billion CFU) 1 cap 1x/day for 1 month or the Replenish capsule 1 cap 1x/day (100 Billion CFU) with a 2 week supply.
-VSL#3 – This is a pharmaceutical grade probiotic that has been shown to have some of the best efficacy for treating IBS, ulcerative colitis, and dysbiosis. A written prescription can be obtained from GI-Specialists or you can buy it on Amazon though the concentration is lower (112.5 Billion CFU) where as the written prescription can contain various levels up to 450 Billion.
