Your gut health is looking good....While this gut assessment covers the basics, it’s a fairly good indication of your current gut health right now. There are a few things that you could work on to improve and maintain your gut health. Your gut is the centre of your health!The digestive system is complex, so often there are multiple reasons why you end up with poor gut health. Let's break down some of your answers and see if we can help. Our online GoodGutz Program teaches you how to identify gut issues, what causes them and how to fix them. It's backed by science and clinical experience and you can check it out here.Bloating, Indigestion or RefluxBloating - may be caused by partially digested food or food sensitivities that cause inflammation, excessive gas or fluid production.Indigestion and reflux are sensations that indicate that food is not being digested easily and results in discomfort and even pain. Reflux is one of the most common digestive complains that Australian’s suffer from. The acidity of the stomach contents causes a burning like pain and can lead to inflammation and erosion of the oesophagus. Burping and bloating can also occur.In reality, much of the origin of these types of acid-related issues are actually caused by low stomach acid levels.The most common foods that cause bloating and indigestion are wheat and gluten containing products and dairy. Let's talk about poo!Your bowel movements are great indicators of your gut health status. Healthy bowel habits look like this:You pass 1-3 bowel movements every dayThey are formed like a log, 3-4 on the Bristol Stool ChartYou pass them easily, without the need to strainYou feel properly evacuated or ‘empty’ afterwardsConstipation, diarrhoea, loose stools or other irregularities all indicate there is an issue. Based on your report, you have some issues in this area. The longer your bowel movements remain irregular, the longer your inner balance is disturbed. Causes of loose stools include food intolerances, dysbiosis (bacterial imbalance), stress, parasites and inflammatory gut conditions. Gas and WindIt is normal to pass some wind. When it is excessive, it indicates that there is either dysbiosis of the microbiome (your bacteria are whack) or that you’re eating the wrong foods. Signs that things aren’t healthy include passing wind all day long, passing large amounts (that might be embarrassing) or smelly wind, which indicates putrefaction and an unhealthy fermentation by your gut bacteria. If you're windy you need to alter your diet and rebalance the healthy bacteria in your gut. This is a focus in our GoodGutz Program, where we're looking to restore this natural balance. Stress and the GutThe one thing that you also need to consider is the effect of stress on the gut. When we’re stressed it down regulates your digestion and can alter your microbiome in a negative way. We are all stressed to some degree, so we need to make sure we are carving out me time.Sometimes getting to the bottom of gut issues can be tricky and it is worth checking in with a qualified naturopath or other integrative health specialist to find out what the cause is.Ready to make a headstart on your Gut Health?
