Zonulin is a controlling protein that determines which substances will enter our bloodstream through the cells of the small intestine. Elevated levels of zonulin indicate damage to the intestinal mucosa and increased permeability. Elevated zonulin values are found in patients with diseases where the body fights its own cells. Additionally, zonulin also increases in patients with untreated food allergies. Intestinal barrier damage is considered one of the causes and maintainers of inflammation in these patients. Testing of this substance is recommended for frequent infections, colds, allergies, food intolerances, Hashimoto's disease, joint problems (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), autism, depression, skin problems, and irritable bowel syndrome. A high level of zonulin in the body may indicate not only increased intestinal permeability but also an ongoing inflammatory process within the intestinal mucosa.
