Well the more correct term is increased or decreased intestinal permeability. Which very much is a thing.
But yeah you’re not completely wrong to be skeptic about the so called “leaky gut syndrome”, but that’s why you have to remember what syndrome means; just a collection or symptoms. People could have a collection of symptoms from different sources which still amount to the same syndrome. (Usually not though, but technically.)
Is the Gulf War - syndrome “woo bullshit” or real? Because if we apply the same standard as I presume you’re applying to the leaky gut syndrome, I presume you’d say it’s BS as well. Yet I bet there’s quite a lot of nasty vets who you wouldn’t dare to say that to their faces.
“Leaky gut” is food woo bullshit.

So just to reiterate; leaky gut syndrome, highly dubious https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_gut_syndrome
But increased intestinal permeability, also known as “leaky gut”: very much real but distinct from the other one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_permeability#Clinical_significance
