The health of the entire body is dependent on a healthy gut and gut microbiome. Gut microbes are codependent with one another and with their human host, and the health of one affects the other. A sizeable volume of research associates an imbalanced gut microbiome with multiple disease states both within and outside of the GI tract.

Gas

Abdominal pain/cramps
Diarrhea
Constipation
