Microbiota tests

Your gut contains billions of harmless bacteria which it needs to function. If this balance is disturbed, it can lead to dysbiosis. The causes of this are multiple, but include diet, over-consumption of alcohol, stress, taking new medicine, and bad dental hygiene. Disruption to the balance of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract specifically can cause inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease.

Test yourself if you are feeling that something’s not right and/or you experience any of these symptoms.

Symptoms of dysbiosis will depend on where the bacteria is unbalanced in your body. Typically for a gut dysbiosis imbalance, they include:

• Bloating; Gas; Constipation;  Diarrhoea; Stomach pain; Tiredness; Bad breath; Nausea; Brain fog; Anxiety; Depression; Skin rashes such as eczema
