Antibiotics & Medications
Infrequently used medications, especially antibiotics, tend to negatively affect one’s gut flora.

High stress levels
Stress and anxiety may weaken your immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off invasive bacteria.

Unbalanced diet
Any dietary shift that increases sugars, proteins or additives will put the body at risk for dysbiosis.
How to recognise dysbiosis
Some symptoms of dysbiosis are mild and temporary, such as an upset stomach. Others are more severe and require suitable treatment.

Bellyaches
Discomfort in the abdominal region is a common symptom of dysbiosis. Severity can range from manageable to extremely unpleasant.
Bloating
A struggling digestive system makes one susceptible to a buildup of excessive gas, which often uses the mouth to exit the body.

Occasional diarrhea

Learn to relax
Many believe that adopting calming practices, such as meditation and yoga, will relieve stress and help the body better absorb nutrients, thus bring relief to dysbiosis.

Avoid bacteria killing products
Environments that are overly sterile may work against good bacteria fighting to correct the internal imbalance.

Consider antibiotics
Some cases of dysbiosis require the aid of an antibiotic, however antibiotics can also trigger dysbiosis, so it is vital that you use a quality probiotic when taking this treatment.
How to prevent dysbiosis
Anyone who has suffered dysbiosis will tell you prevention is something to get on board with, sooner rather than later.
