5 Signs You Need To Support Your Gut Health

If you’ve ever experienced an upset stomach, bloating, or other digestive issues, you know how uncomfortable and inconvenient they can be. While there are many potential causes of digestive issues, one of the most common is poor gut health. 

Many people experience chronic gastrointestinal symptoms without realizing that it could be a sign of something more serious. To help diagnose and treat your gut health problems, here are five signs you may need to support your gut health. 

The 5 Signs You Should Look For

1. Abdominal Pain - Abdominal pain is a common symptom of poor gut health, but it can also have other causes, such as food allergies or stress. If your abdominal pain has no identifiable cause and persists for more than a few days, it could be a sign that your gut needs some extra attention.  

2. Bloating - Bloating is another common symptom of poor gut health and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain. If you experience persistent bloating after eating certain foods or if your bloating does not go away after several days, it may be time to consider supporting your gut health with dietary changes or probiotics.

3. Fatigue - Fatigue can often be linked to poor nutrition and/or inadequate absorption of nutrients due to improper digestion in the stomach and intestines. Poor digestion can also lead to nutritional deficiencies, which can contribute to feelings of fatigue throughout the day. 

4. Skin Problems - Skin problems such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea have all been linked to poor digestive health because the skin is responsible for eliminating toxins from the body that are not eliminated through normal digestion processes in the intestines or liver. Improving your digestive health will help eliminate toxins from the body more efficiently and reduce skin problems associated with poor digestion.

5. Weight Fluctuations - Unstable blood sugar levels caused by improper nutrient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract can lead to sudden weight fluctuations even when maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle habits such as regular exercise. Supporting your digestive system by taking probiotics or consuming fermented foods will help stabilize blood sugar levels throughout the day, making it easier for your body to maintain a healthy weight over time. 

Takeaway

The importance of having good gut health cannot be understated; it goes beyond just avoiding an occasional bout of indigestion or bloating – it’s about overall well-being! By being aware of these five signs you may need to support your gut health, you can take proactive steps towards improving your digestive system so that you can enjoy life feeling fit and energized!

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, talk with a physician who specializes in functional medicine—they will work with you on an individual basis to find solutions tailored specifically to your needs!
