Doctors point out signs of an unhealthy gut

Bloating, irregular bowel movements, and abdominal pain are all symptoms of poor gut health. But there are also less well-known symptoms of an unhealthy gut, according to Eating Well .

Mr. Will Bulsiewicz, a gastroenterologist in the US, shared 4 signs of poor gut health.

Frequent headaches

There are many causes of headaches, and gut health issues can be a factor. A study published in The Journal of Headache and Pain in 2020 also found that migraines may be linked to digestive disorders and intestinal inflammation.

Migraines may be linked to digestive disorders

Research also shows that headaches or migraines can be improved through a diet that is beneficial to the gut microbiome and adequate fiber intake.

Constantly tired

Physical and mental fatigue are also symptoms of poor gut health. A 2020 study by the National Library of Medicine also presented a link between fatigue and the state of the gut microbiome. Accordingly, fatigue may be related to digestive problems such as constipation.

Eczema

Besides genetic factors, poor gut health can also be a factor in causing skin irritation.

A study published in the journal Acta Dermato-Venereologica in 2018 showed the role of the gut microbiome in atopic dermatitis (eczema). According to the study, changes in the gut microbiome may correlate with eczema symptoms.

Taking antibiotics for skin problems can have a negative impact on gut health. Continuous use of antibiotics can cause symptoms such as chronic fatigue, inflammation and digestive problems. So if you have skin problems, see a medical professional for proper treatment.

Increased stress and anxiety

According to the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry , 95% of the body's serotonin (a happy hormone) is produced in the gut.

Bulsiewicz also referenced a 2019 study from the Journal of Neuroscience Research that explored the link between gut inflammation and anxiety and depression. The results showed that the gut microbiome plays a huge role in the stress response, so adding gut-healthy foods to your diet could help reduce these symptoms.
