Some symptoms are very obvious, while others may be quite surprising.
Here are 6 major signs that your gut is not functioning properly: -
1. Upset stomach
— Cooking with Chris (@coookwithchris) June 21, 2023
This is the obvious one. If you have issues like bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, etc it is pretty obvious you are dealing with significant gut issues.
You should resolve these before anything else. -
2. Autoimmune conditions
— Cooking with Chris (@coookwithchris) June 21, 2023
The gut plays a huge role in your immune system and inflammation.
When you have long term, systemic inflammation, the body can attack itself (rather than harmful invaders like acute inflammation) and can lead to autoimmune disorders. -
3. Skin issues

I’ve talked about this a lot before, but acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea can all be related to underlying gut issues.
Through the gut-skin axis, your gut communicates to your skin to influence skin structure, inflammation and sebum production. -
4. Allergies

Because your gut has such an impact on your immune system, it can affect seasonal allergies as well.
If your gut health is off, your immune system is off, and your immune system will overreact to pollen. -
5. Anxiety/depression
— Cooking with Chris (@coookwithchris) June 21, 2023
The gut plays a huge, and arguably the most important role in mental health.
Your gut and brain are connected through the “gut-brain axis.”
A majority of neurotransmitters, including dopamine, GABA and serotonin are actually produced in the gut. -
6. Brain fog/low energy
— Cooking with Chris (@coookwithchris) June 21, 2023
Not only does your gut produced those hormones, but it is responsible for nutrient absorption as well.
Plain and simple, if you’re not absorbing the nutrients you need, brain fog and low energy are very common side effects. -
