It’s important to maintain a healthy gut to avoid the accumulation of bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, constipation, gas, and abdominal pain. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where an excessive amount of gut bacteria forms in the small intestine which can cause these symptoms, often resulting in a person’s impaired quality of life. Any condition that disrupts the normal transit of the small intestine can increase the likelihood of getting SIBO including stress and anxiety. The good news is there are simple things you can do and implement into your daily life to help maintain a healthy gut.
Here are some tips to enhance your overall health:
- Exercise
- Maintain a healthy diet
- Manage your stress levels
- Drink Plenty of Water
- Talk to your doctor
