A Intestinal dysbiosis occurs when there is an imbalance in the gut microbiota, leading to the overgrowth of harmful microorganisms at the expense of beneficial bacteria. This imbalance can cause various digestive, immune, and metabolic issues, triggering symptoms such as abdominal bloating, changes in bowel habits, fatigue, weight gain, skin problems, and even impacting hormonal and mental health.

The causes of dysbiosis vary and may include poor diet, food intolerances, chronic stress, excessive antibiotic use, exposure to toxins, and hormonal imbalances, among other factors.

Dysbiosis is often associated with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
