How is your digestive health? 5 warning signs from your body you can’t ignore
Did you know that your gut is home to 70% of your immune system, where healthy bacteria can thrive? Your gut is also where millions of neurons and your enteric nervous system reside, which greatly affects your emotional health and decision making – so much so that it has been nicknamed your body’s “second brain”. In fact, having a healthy gut has been proven to not only strengthen your immunity and prevent diseases, but also generate positive sentiments and feelings like happiness. If your body has the following 5 symptoms, your body could be sounding the alarm and you should be thinking about getting advice from your healthcare provider.
The 5 warning signs of a digestive health problem
Frequent gastrointestinal discomfort or cramps
If you are often suffering from bloating, heartburn, constipation, or diarrhoea, your gut is having problems digesting or excreting the food you are choosing to eat.
Eczema
Another frequent sign of a digestive health problem is skin problems. Eczema, for example, can be closely related to intestinal issues. Poor eating habits or even food allergies can easily lead to problems with your intestinal balance, causing certain substances to be absorbed into your blood. This may ultimately irritate your skin, causing eczema and/or other problems.
Constant cravings for high-sugar foods
There are between 300 and 500 different types of bacteria in your gut, both good and bad. When the balance of bacteria in your gut is abnormal, you might begin to start craving high-sugar foods. These sweet and processed snacks might temporarily satisfy your cravings, but they will only serve to further deteriorate your digestive health, trapping you in a vicious self-perpetuating cycle.
Unexpected weight-gain
If your diet, exercise and medication routines remain unchanged yet you have experienced a sudden weight gain, you may have some intestinal issues. Certain disorders can affect the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, lead to instability in blood sugar levels, induce insulin resistance, and even lead to overeating in some rare cases.
Sudden food intolerance
Sudden difficulty in digesting certain foods like dairy products, high-fibre whole grains, wheat gluten, etc. that causes bloating, gas, stomach pain or other symptoms can be caused by bad bacteria in the intestinal tract.
If you are experiencing the above symptoms on a frequent basis, you may want to seek advice from your healthcare provider. Additionally, you can start to take digestive probiotic treatments and other foods conducive to good intestinal health in order to supplement the healthy bacteria. Some studies have even shown that an increase in healthy bacteria in the intestines can help suppress the growth of bad bacteria, greatly enhancing overall intestinal health.
