Symptoms of an Unhealthy Gut. Often times people don’t realize some of their symptoms are gut related and so they aren’t connecting the dots between symptoms like bloating and allergies, for example. But because your gut microbiome regulates your immune system to a large degree, when your gut is out of balance, you can experience all sorts of symptoms.
Here are a few symptoms of an unhealthy gut that aren’t overly obvious:
- Allergies
- Food sensitivities
- Asthma
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Ulcers
- White film on your tongue
- Brain fog
- Autoimmune disease
- Skin problems
- Sugar cravings
- Halitosis (bad breath)
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms alongside gastrointestinal discomfort there is a good chance you have a condition that needs to be looked at by your functional medicine doctor. If you are in the Kansas City area and looking for a functional medicine doctor we regularly see patients for all sorts of gut-related issues.
