Common Questions About Poor Gut Health

• What are the symptoms of an unhealthy gut? 

Individuals can experience obvious signs like stomach discomfort, heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome to more complex signs like fatigue and sleep issues. They may also have non-typical food cravings, or unexplained weight gain or loss.

• How do you fix a bad gut?

Healing an unhealthy gut starts with finding the root of the problem. Look for a functional medicine provider, like those at Vitality, who specializes in gut health. Some solutions include; making changes to your diet, reduction of stress, cutting back on processed foods, and identifying specific stressors. The key is to get a full picture of your needs and the root cause of your discomfort. From there, a personalized plan can lead you to optimal wellness.

• How long does it take the bowels to heal?

It depends on the patient and the cause. It can take as little as a few months and as long as 1-2 years. For those with chronic or serious cases, it’s important to remember that you didn’t get to this place of dis-ease overnight and it will take work to get back to optimal health. No matter how long it takes, we know it’s worth it in the end! 

Signs of Good Gut Health

Some signs of a good, healthy gut include:

• Having well-formed and easy-to-pass bowel movements at least twice a day.

• Being free of symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, and loose-stool.
