8 surprising signs your gut needs help! — erinlamb

5. Seasonal + environmental allergies: You take Reactine on the reg. This is a sign your immune system is in overdrive! 80% of your immune system is in the gut!

6. Food sensitivities, intolerances: it’s not the food that’s the problem… it’s your gut! Your food sensitivities don’t have to be a life sentence! Food sensitivities don’t always manifest with digestive issues – maybe in ways like headaches, your mood, breakouts, acid reflux, joint pain…

7. Skin issues. Hives, rashes, eczema, breakouts tell us your immune system (most of which is in your gut!) is shouting for help. Your gut lining needs some help!

8. Taking birth Control: we aren’t always made aware of the negative impacts birth control can have on our gut health. It can impact your gut bacteria, depletes you of nutrients (many that are important for gut health!) can lead to gut permeability (“leaky” gut) + slows down your digestion. This can lead to worse hormonal issues in the long run!  

There’s so much more to these signs than we can’t cover in one blog post. This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Digestion is a CRUCIAL foundation for optimal health✨ When something goes wrong it leads to obvious “gut issues” or some of the not so obvious signs.
