Unhealthy Intestines: 7 Early Warning Signs and Easy Steps to Restore Your Gut Health

Spot the 7 early warning signs of unhealthy intestines and learn simple steps to restore gut health. If you notice things like bloating after meals, irregular or unpredictable bowel movements, persistent gas, and recurring stomach discomfort, you may be seeing signs of unhealthy intestines. Other cues include unexplained fatigue, mood fluctuations, and skin issues tied to gut health. Recognizing these signals early lets you take manageable actions—prioritizing fiber-rich foods, staying hydrated, keeping meals regular, and reducing ultra-processed items that disrupt your microbiome. Small, consistent changes can add up to noticeable improvements in digestion and comfort. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System designed to power modern gut microbiome testing products and consumer solutions. Its Gut Microbiome Health Index provides a score from 0 to 100, derived under an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, giving a clear snapshot of your gut’s overall health. You’ll also see Bacteria Abundances, showing how your top 40 bacteria compare with a healthy cohort, and Bacteria Functions, categorized as positive or negative to help you understand which metabolic pathways are driving your results.
