Your gut health influences nearly every aspect of your well-being, from digestion and nutrient absorption to immunity, energy, and even mood regulation. When your gut is out of balance, it can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, IBS, and leaky gut. But these signs are more than just discomfort—they're your body signaling underlying imbalances that need attention.

What Causes Gut Issues?

Gut disorders often stem from a combination of factors, including:

• Dysbiosis: An imbalance in gut microbiota, where harmful bacteria outnumber beneficial ones.

• Poor Diet: High intake of processed foods, refined sugars, and low fiber disrupts gut health.

• Stress: Chronic stress can alter gut motility and microbiome balance.

• Medications: Antibiotics and NSAIDs can deplete beneficial bacteria and harm the gut lining.

• Infections: Pathogens like H. pylori or parasites can trigger chronic inflammation.

Common Digestive Disorders

• IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome): Characterised by abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits, often linked to gut-brain axis dysfunction and imbalanced gut bacteria.

• Bloating: Often caused by poor digestion, food intolerances, or bacterial overgrowth.

• Leaky Gut (Increased Intestinal Permeability): When the gut lining becomes compromised, undigested food particles and toxins can enter the bloodstream, potentially triggering inflammation and autoimmune reactions.
