When your gut is healthy and there is a proper balance of bacteria in the digestive system, your overall health shines.

But when the balance of beneficial bacteria in your gastrointestinal (GI) track suffers, your body can suffer serious health consequences.

Here are a few signs that may appear if your digestive system becomes unhealthy.

1. Upset Stomach

Many people experience an unhappy tummy.  If you have consistent gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or heartburn, you know how miserable it can be.  These stomach disturbances can all be signs of unbalanced bacteria which can make it difficult to process food and eliminate waste from the body.

2. Changes in Weight

If you are gaining or losing weight unintentionally and without changing your diet or exercise habits, it could be the sign of an unhealthy gut. An imbalance in the GI tract can affect your body’s ability to absorb nutrients, regulate blood sugar, and control fat storage.

3. Poor Sleep

If you are having difficulty staying asleep, or are constantly tired throughout the day from lack of sleep, you may be having issues with serotonin levels, a hormone that affects mood and sleep.

The gastrointestinal tract contains much of the body’s serotonin. So, it makes sense that your circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle) and your gut microbiome are directly connected. Poor sleep has serious consequences, so do everything you can to get a proper night’s sleep and awake refreshed.

4. Constant Fatigue

Everyone is tired these days. And while we tend to attribute the fatigue to our busy lifestyle, the health of our gut might be playing a bigger role than we thought. An unhealthy balance of bacteria in the gut can prevent your body from absorbing the nutrients it requires for energy, leaving you tired all the time.

5. Immune System Issues

Since 80% of the immune system lives in the GI tract, it makes sense that the gut is the first line of defense against harmful pathogens entering the body and bloodstream. If you are susceptible to constant colds and respiratory issues, your digestive system may require attention.

6.  Skin Issues

Did you know that beauty actually begins in the belly?

Inflammation in the gut can cause your skin to get irritated and even cause conditions like eczema and rosacea. There are several studies to back this up:

• 54% of acne patients have significantly altered gut flora,

• sufferers of psoriasis, another chronic inflammatory skin disease, have a lower healthy level of intestinal bacteria

The good news is that Probiotics have been shown to be a simple solution to help reduce skin symptoms.
