    Abstract: The disclosure provides for methods for monitoring mucosal healing in a patient with a digestive disease, or for use in a pre-disease state, and includes intestinal as well as extra-intestinal disorders in which gut permeability is increased. The method may include establishing a baseline of the patient, treating the patient for the digestive disease or the pre-disease state, measuring gut permeability of the patient after treatment, and comparing a second total percentage of the administered dose recovered to the baseline total percentage of the administered dose recovered. Establishing the baseline may include enterally administering a first dosage of a composition comprising a fluorescent tracer, measuring a first amount of the administered dose that can be found outside the gut over a period of time, and determining a baseline total percentage of the administered dose recovered. Measuring gut permeability may include enterally administering a second dosage of the composition, measuring a second amount of the administered dose, and determining a second total percentage of the administered dose recovered.
