Poor quality bacteria or a lack of digestive enzymes are to blame.<\/p>\n<p>It is usually irreversible, and since the immune system is unable to fight it, it can lead to numerous allergic reactions, including swelling, itchiness, rashes, hives, and breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"sugar_cravings\"><\/span>Sugar Cravings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t give in. That constant craving for something sweet may be certain microbes in your gut trying to manipulate you into eating foods that will feed them and help them grow. For example, a large amount of yeast can develop an unhealthy gut cycle by causing intense sugar cravings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"unexpected_weight_gain_or_loss\"><\/span>Unexpected Weight Gain or Loss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t made any significant changes to your diet or exercise routine but are experiencing sudden weight changes, this may be another sign of an unhealthy gut. Gut imbalances can impair the body&#8217;s ability to regulate blood sugar, absorb needed nutrients, and store fat. For example, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO<\/p>\n<p>) may be the cause of weight loss. Whereas weight gain can be caused by insulin resistance when the liver, fat, and muscles do not respond well to insulin.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"skin_irritation\"><\/span>Skin Irritation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some skin issues can also appear due to gut imbalances. In research, skin problems such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema have shown to be linked to a damaged gut. Through complex immune mechanisms, skin is influenced by the gut microbiome.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-shortcode__wrap\">\n    <section class=\"cta-shortcode\">\n\n        <div class=\"cta-shortcode__left\">\n                            <h3>Take a 1-minute quiz<\/h3>\n                                        <h5>And discover ways ColonBroom can help improve your gut health<\/h5>\n            \n            <a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/colonbroom.com\/quiz\">take a quiz<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"cta-shortcode__right\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/colonbroom.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CTA-banner-WEB.png\" alt=\"\">\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"moodiness\"><\/span>Moodiness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, even mood swings may be pointing to you having gut damage. There are neural communication channels between the gut and the brain. Disturbances and inflammation in the central nervous system may throw off gut-brain communication and contribute to mood imbalance, anxiety, and even depression.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"fatigue_and_problems_sleeping\"><\/span>Fatigue and Problems Sleeping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Serotonin is a mood and sleep affecting hormone produced by gut bacteria.
