5 Signs of Poor Gut Health
Is your gut in bad shape? An imbalance like Candida overgrowth can play havoc with the healthy bacteria that play so many important roles in your body. An unhealthy gut isn’t just about poor digestion. Poor gut health can affect your mood, immunity, energy levels, and skin. Here are 5 giveaway signs that you have an unhealthy gut! Low energy levels The bacteria in your gut are responsible for digesting and removing nutrients from your food. They even produce some micronutrients themselves! Without a healthy balance of good bacteria, you body won’t get the nutrition that it needs to thrive. Poor sleep or insomnia Did you know that most of your body’ serotonin is produced in your gut? Imbalances like Candida or SIBO can affect your serotonin levels, making you sleepy at inappropriate times or wired when you try to sleep. Unhealthy skin Having too many ‘bad' microorganisms in your gut (and too few ‘good’ ones) can lead to some major inflammation in your gut and elsewhere. Inflammation can cause many different conditions around the body, and blotchy skin or eczema are good examples. Digestive problems The most immediate effect of poor gut health is digestive issues. These tend to be different for everyone, but they can include gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, and more. Rebalancing your gut bacteria can help you say goodbye to chronic digestive symptoms. Food intolerances Candida is often found alongside leaky gut, a condition where the intestinal membrane becomes porous. This can lead to food intolerances. Food intolerances can often disappear with improved gut health.What’s the number one way to improve your gut health? Fermented Foods with lots of probiotics! Probiotic foods are easy to digest, nutritious, and really healthy options for your gut. But their bacteria tend to be destroyed by stomach acid.
You might have to clean out the bad bacterias and yeast to make room for the good critters, if you have a foggey brain when you drink Kombucha or Kefir.
