SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE POOR GUT HEALTH!

𝟭. 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵

Gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn can all be signs of an unhealthy gut. A balanced gut flora will have less difficulty processing food and eliminating waste.

𝟮. 𝗔 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁

Processed foods and sugar can decrease the amount of good bacteria in your gut. Poor gut health can actually cause increased sugar cravings which can damage your gut further. High amounts of refined sugars cause inflammation in the body and inflammation can be the precursor to a number of diseases and even cancers.

𝟯. 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀

Gaining or losing weight without making changes to your diet or exercise habits may be a sign of an unhealthy gut. An imbalanced gut can impair your body’s ability to absorb nutrients, regulate blood sugar, and store fat.

𝟰. 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲

An unhealthy gut may contribute to insomnia or poor sleep, and possibly lead to chronic fatigue. The majority of the body’s serotonin, a hormone that affects mood and sleep, is produced in the gut so gut damage can impair your ability to sleep well.

𝟱. 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Skin conditions like eczema may be related to a damaged gut. Inflammation in the gut caused by a poor diet or food allergies may cause increased “leaking” of certain proteins out into the body, which can in turn irritate the skin and cause conditions such as eczema.

𝟲. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗶𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Medical studies are finding new evidence of the impact of the gut on the immune system. An unhealthy gut can increase inflammation and alter the proper functioning of the immune system. This can lead to autoimmune diseases which cause the body to attack itself.

𝟳. 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀

Food intolerances are the result of difficulty digesting certain foods (this is different than a food allergy, which is caused by an immune system reaction to certain foods). It’s believed that food intolerances may be caused by poor bacteria health in the gut. This can lead to difficulty digesting foods and create symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea.
