Gut Microbiota Diseases: Symptoms, Causes, and How to Protect Your Microbiome

Gut microbiota diseases describe conditions where the gut’s microbial ecosystem becomes imbalanced, affecting digestion, metabolism, immunity, and even mood. People may notice symptoms like chronic bloating, abdominal pain, irregular bowel habits, fatigue, or flare-ups of skin or allergic symptoms. Identifying root causes—diet rich in processed foods, antibiotic overuse, chronic stress, infections, and genetics—helps tailor strategies to re-balance the microbiome and reduce disease risk. Modern approaches to understanding gut microbiota diseases blend symptom tracking with precise microbial profiling. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers gut microbiome testing products for companies and consumers. Its suite includes a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0–100) based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, giving a clear snapshot of gut health. It also presents Bacteria abundances for a top 40 bacteria panel, Bacteria functions categorized as positive or negative, and targeted analyses that compare your profile to a healthy cohort. For deeper insights, Target Group analysis explores how features align with groups like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, or Skin & Hair Health.
