According to this video from John Bergman, leaky gut (and by extension, Crohn's and other IBD) is caused by:
- vaccines causing an improper immune response (Th2 response)
- GMO produce and meat from animals that eat GMO produce
- antibiotic use (decimates the gut microbiome)
- prescription drugs (not specified - seems to be against drugs in general)
How to fix it:
- restore the microbiome by raw eating vegetables, raw milk (for the bacteria)
- refusing to eat GMO
- saturated fats such as coconut oil
- adequate vitamin D
- iodine (he recommends ancientpurities.com)
- large amounts of vitamin C (4,000 mg)
- probiotics
- exercise and stress relief
He mentions getting bacteria for your body from raw milk and raw vegetables. It seems a bit dangerous to me. He claims that traveler's diarrhea is often the body getting rid of bacteria that it doesn't want and taking in bacteria that it does want.
