Gut Lining & Food Reactions
Reflux, food intolerances, leaky gut symptoms — when your gut barrier isn't functioning well, the effects ripple through your entire system. If elimination diets haven't solved the problem, there's often a reason.
Your gut lining is a selective barrier — it should let nutrients through while keeping harmful substances out. When this barrier becomes compromised, you may start reacting to foods you've eaten your whole life, experience persistent reflux, or notice symptoms that seem disconnected from digestion.
The conventional approach — eliminating more and more foods — often fails because it doesn't address the underlying barrier dysfunction. Your 'safe' food list keeps shrinking, but the problem never resolves.
Do you experience...
If several of these resonate, your gut barrier may be involved.
- New food intolerances or sensitivities
- Reflux or heartburn
- Reactions to foods you used to tolerate
- Fatigue after eating certain foods
- Skin reactions connected to diet
- A 'safe' food list that keeps shrinking
Why Progurt Works When Others Haven't
Three problems with the elimination-only approach — and how MEND addresses each one.
Eliminating Symptoms
Removing trigger foods treats the symptom, not the cause. You end up with an ever-shrinking diet and no path forward.
Address Root Cause
MEND supports barrier repair from the foundation — so you can eventually expand what you eat, not restrict it further.
Missing Bacteria
Without the right gut bacteria, your barrier cells don't get the fuel they need. Short-chain fatty acids come from bacteria, not supplements.
Restore Native Bacteria
Human Probiotic Isolates recognise human gut tissue and produce the compounds your barrier cells need to repair.
Random Supplements
L-glutamine, collagen, bone broth — useful supports, but without the right bacteria, they can't do their job effectively.
Sequential Protocol
MEND prepares the terrain first, then introduces bacteria, then nourishes them — in the right order for lasting results.
Common Misconception
"I just need to avoid my trigger foods" — Avoidance manages symptoms but doesn't restore barrier function. Without addressing the underlying cause, your food list keeps shrinking.
Your Recommended Starting Point
Based on gut barrier concerns, we recommend starting with Gentle Reset.
Why this bundle:
- Prepares the gut environment before introducing bacteria
- Human-origin strains that communicate with gut tissue
- Measured approach that doesn't overwhelm a sensitive system
- Foundation for long-term barrier support
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does gut barrier repair take?
Gut lining cells turn over every 3-5 days, but meaningful barrier restoration typically takes 4-12 weeks of consistent support. Many people notice reduced reactivity within the first month.
Should I continue my elimination diet while using Progurt?
Initially, yes. Maintaining a calm baseline helps you notice improvements. As barrier function improves, many people find they can gradually reintroduce foods — but this should be done slowly and systematically.
Will this help with histamine intolerance?
Histamine issues are complex and individual. Some people with histamine-type symptoms find improvement as their microbiome rebalances, as certain bacteria help break down histamine. Results vary.
What about leaky gut — is that real?
"Leaky gut" (increased intestinal permeability) is a real phenomenon, though the term isn't always used precisely. Research confirms that barrier function can be compromised and that the microbiome plays a role in maintaining it.
I react to everything — will I react to this?
The Mineralise phase (week 1) introduces minerals only — no bacteria. This allows your system to prepare gently. If you're extremely sensitive, the Complete Protocol's yogurt option provides an even gentler bacterial introduction.
Is this approach right for me if I have severe allergies?
Severe allergies requiring medical management should continue under practitioner guidance. Progurt is best suited for those with food sensitivities and intolerances rather than true allergies.
