Unhealthy Gut Symptoms: 7 Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

Unhealthy gut symptoms can show up in surprising ways. If you’re noticing persistent bloating after meals, irregular or frequent bathroom visits, excessive gas, stomach discomfort that won’t fade, chronic fatigue, skin flare-ups, or mood changes like irritability or brain fog, these are warning signs you shouldn’t ignore. Recognizing these signals early gives you a better chance to restore balance and protect your overall health before things escalate. That’s where InnerBuddies can help. InnerBuddies is a white-label Gut Health Operating System designed to power gut microbiome testing products for brands and clinicians, delivering precise, data-driven insights. The platform features a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0-to-100 score that reflects overall gut health and is built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. You’ll also see bacteria abundances compared to a healthy cohort, along with labeled bacterial functions (positive and negative) across functional categories, so you can understand which pathways matter most for your gut. For people seeking deeper, action-focused guidance, InnerBuddies offers Target Group analysis that highlights how your gut microbiome scores on pathways relevant to specific goals—Healthy Aging, Endurance or Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more. The system translates these insights into practical, personalized nutrition advice derived from 3-day food diaries, plus tailored probiotics and prebiotics recommendations aligned with your unique microbiome. And for consumers eager to take the next step, InnerBuddies provides direct gut test solutions to help you start using the same data-driven approach. To explore these options, you can learn more about the consumer solution on the product page: InnerBuddies microbiome test, or sign up for ongoing guidance with the gut health membership.
