Hi. I don't have leaky gut but if I did I would start with oriental herbs of a warming quality that help to heal the gut. There are lots of sites on the w.w.w. with no shortage of info on which herbs might be suitable. I myself, when taking oriental herbs, favour teas/decoctions rather than pills. If it were me, I would find a practitioner of TCM who speaks English well and understands things from a western perspective, i.e. "candida" & "leaky gut" rather than just the oriental "energetic" aspect.
