Overview

Intestinal dysbiosis is an imbalance in the gut microbiota, which is the population of bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the intestines. This imbalance can impact the digestion, absorption and metabolism of food, the breakdown and elimination of toxins, the production of vitamins and hormones, and the functioning of the immune system. Intestinal dysbiosis has been associated with symptoms ranging from digestive issues such as constipation, bloating, and diarrhea to systemic health issues such as autoimmune disease, obesity, and mental health disorders. Maintaining an optimal balance of the gut microbiota is essential for overall health and treating intestinal dysbiosis is an integral part of improving one’s overall health and well-being. Treatments for intestinal dysbiosis may include dietary changes, probiotics, prebiotics, and other lifestyle modifications.
