You wake up one morning with nausea and diarrhea. It gets worse throughout the day. You think you may have a stomach bug, but it’s hard to know for sure. Maybe it’s COVID-19 or even food poisoning?
The human gut is home to a diverse collection of microbes, collectively termed gut microbiota. Your gut microbes help regulate digestion, fight disease and even improve your mood.
Feeling blocked up, cramping or bloating? We’ve all been there before. Constipation is when your bowel movements become difficult to pass or happen less frequently than usual.
If you’ve ever experienced gut issues, you know how frustrating it can be. You may try a variety of things to feel better, but if the discomfort continues, you may worry about what’s really going on.
