- Constipation or Diarrhea: Persistent constipation or diarrhea is a major indicator of gut issues. These symptoms can be a sign that you are having problems with digestion or microbial imbalances in the gut.
- Bloating: Bloating often accompanies constipation or diarrhea but can be a more prominent symptom on its own. Persistent bloating is a key sign of gut problems.
- Flatulence: Excessive and painful flatulence indicates gut health issues.
- Acid Reflux: Acid reflux indicates that certain foods may not agree with your gut. Relying on acid blockers can harm your gut microbiome and perpetuate the problem.
- Nutritional Deficiency: Nutrient and vitamin deficiencies can point to dietary inadequacies or absorption issues in the gut.
- Poor Mental Health: Gut health is strongly linked to mental health. Conditions like depression and anxiety, as well as low energy and fatigue, can be exacerbated by poor gut health.
- Skin Issues: Skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis are closely connected to gut health through the gut-skin axis.
