The diseases that are linked to gut bacteria are atopy, type 2 diabetes, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Other conditions that are linked to gut bacteria are anxiety, depressions, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and even cancer.

Experiencing frequent discomfort, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn can be signs that your gut is having a hard time processing food and eliminating waste.

You will often feel tired more often than not.

People with chronic fatigue may have imbalances in the gut.

The symptoms of bad bacteria in the gut include.

Loss of appetite.
Abdominal pain.
Nausea.
Bloating.
An uncomfortable feeling of fullness after eating.
Diarrhea.
Unintentional weight loss.
Malnutrition.

Dysbiosis of the gut bacteria can cause many chronic diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, cancer, and autism.

The alteration of the composition of the microbiome and the barrier function can allow the development of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, metabolic dysfunction and cancer.

Getting rid of bad bacteria in the gut has more to do with your foundations of health, which are used to create a healthy environment within your microbiome.

Killing off lingering bad (or overgrown) bacteria with antibiotics or antimicrobials can be effective once your foundations of health are in place.

The signs of bad gut bacteria include.

Autoimmune problems, such as thyroid issues, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes.
Digestive issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn or bloating.
Sleep issues.
Skin rashes and allergies.
Sugar cravings.
Unexplained fatigue or sluggishness.

There is a link between vitamin D deficiency and some digestive disorders.

Having an imbalance of normal gut microbiome is linked to gastrointestinal conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and other diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

As part of healthy eating with bad gut bacteria, it's a good idea to avoid or limit foods packed with added sugar, which feeds bad bacteria, as well as highly processed foods, artificial sweeteners, red meat, and alcohol, which can have a negative effect on gut bacteria, and lead to inflammation.
