Leaky gut is multifactorial, with nutrition being one of the more important etiologies. Drs. Scott Froum and Nathan Estrin look at the role proper nutrition plays in mitigating leaky gut and in doing so, potentially helping with halitosis.

Leaky gut is a condition where toxins, bacteria, and/or undigested food particles leak through a damaged part of the digestive track and enter the bloodstream, initiating an immune response that can interact with different systems of the body. Leaky gut, which results from intestinal permeability, can exacerbate irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), irritable bowel disease (IBD), and celiac disease (CD), which are common gastrointestinal disorders that affect around 10%–15% of the US population.
