Having been asked to supply info about gut health and how to ensure our gut is healthy…. a rather complex subject……after a lot of thought I decided to begin with “How do we know whether our gut is healthy or not?” so here’s a list of some of the things which indicate that we have a sick gut.

  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Allergies – to foods, chemicals, pollen….
  • Cancer
  • Skin problems – acne, scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis, rashes…….
  • Asthma
  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) – bloating, constipation/diarrohea……..
  • “Mental” disorders – Autism, ADD, Clinical Depression…….
  • IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disorder) – Diverticulitis, Crohns Disease
  • Ulcers
  • Lactose intolerance
  • Joint pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Yeast infections
  • Thrush
  • Lowered libido
  • Mental fog
  • Sugar cravings (including alcohol)
  • Weight gain
  • Nail fungi

It’s easy to associate IBS and IBD problems with gut health but the fact is, that the bacteria and fungi responsible for those problems also cause a Leaky Gut, thus allowing toxins, normally trapped in a healthy gut, to escape via the blood to be carried to various parts of the body where they cause havoc with our health.

However, all is not lost…there are remedies. 🙂

 

Modern scientific research is proving that, 2400 years ago, Hippocrates was correct when he said, “All disease begins in the gut.”
