Constipation and Other Symptoms of Poor Gut Health

by Belinda McCall, Founder of WomanBeeWell.com

1. Digestive Issues

Symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, and constipation can all mean that your gut is having a hard time processing food and moving it along your digestive tract.

2. Skin Problems

An inflamed gut may leak out certain proteins that can irritate skin and cause issues like eczema.

3. Vaginal Infections

Your gut and vagina also have an axis of communication. A healthy gut can promote a healthy vagina.

4. Low Immunity

Gut health is linked to immune health. An unhealthy gut can lead to chronic inflammation and improper immune system function.

5. Moody and Anxious

Your gut is connected to your brain via the vagus nerve and produces serotonin, which is linked to mood. If your gut isn't happy, it's likely that you aren't either.

6. Weight Changes

Your gut plays a role in balancing blood sugar and absorbing nutrients. If either is affected, you may have changes in weight.

7. Chronic Fatigue

This can be linked to low serotonin levels affecting sleep, as well as poor absorption of nutrients.

8. Food Intolerance

You may have difficulty digesting certain foods and experience the symptoms listed in #1.
