Our body contains trillions of harmless bacteria known as microbiota living together in our Gastrointestinal tract (GI). Most have a positive effect on our health and contribute to the body’s natural processes. If this bacteria becomes out of balance it leads to Dysbiosis which has a knock-on effect to our health.

Dysbiosis has many symptoms depending on which bacteria is affected and where the inbalance ocurrs in the GI. Some of the more common include diarrohea, bloating and abdomninal pain, constipation,excessive gas, nausea, fatigue and halitosis.

Other factors associated with Dysbiosis are diet and life style. Partying and eating fast food will harm your gut where as a healthy diet and regular exercse will help it.

Food sensitivities to gluten, sugar, eggs, soy, corn, nuts and dairy amongst others are some of the main causes of Dysbiosis, this is different to food allergies with symptoms occuring even after a few days.

Dysbiosis can also be the root cause of seemingly unrelated disorders such as hormone imbalance, autoimmune disease, joint aches and pains, weight and inflammatory disorders.

The key to your health issues could be as simple as taking a blood test to check for food sensitivity or a stool test to check the inbalance of bacteria in the gut.[:]
