5 Signs Your Gut Is Out of Balance (And What to Do About It)
We talk a lot about gut health, but how do you actually know if your gut needs a bit of support?
Your digestive system is home to trillions of microbes – your gut microbiome – that help you digest food, absorb nutrients, regulate your immune system and even influence your mood. When this ecosystem is in balance, everything flows. But when it’s not? Your body lets you know.
The trouble is, those signs aren’t always obvious. At Fromel, we believe knowledge is power – so let’s explore five common ways your body tells you your gut’s out of sync… and what you can do to get back on track.
1. You’re Bloated All the Time
Occasional bloating is totally normal – especially after a big meal or during your cycle. But if it’s a near-daily occurrence, it could be a sign your gut bacteria are out of balance.
An overgrowth of gas-producing bacteria or a lack of diversity in your microbiome can cause fermentation, sluggish digestion and trapped wind. If you’re constantly feeling puffy or uncomfortable, your gut might be crying out for support.
💡 Try this:
Eat more fermented foods (like kefir or sauerkraut), slow down your eating, and take a daily probiotic to rebalance your gut flora gently.
2. Your Mood Feels Low or Unsteady
There’s a reason your gut is often called your “second brain”. It produces around 90% of your serotonin (the feel-good hormone), and it communicates constantly with your nervous system via the gut-brain axis.
When your gut’s inflamed or imbalanced, it can affect your mood, energy and emotional resilience. You might feel anxious, irritable, low or just not quite yourself – and not realise your digestive system is partly to blame.
💡 Try this:
Support your gut daily with probiotic strains linked to emotional wellbeing, prioritise fibre-rich foods, and try stress-reducing rituals like movement, breathwork or journalling.
3. You’re Constipated… or Always Rushing to the Loo
Regular bowel movements are a key sign of a healthy gut. If you’re struggling to go, or dashing to the toilet multiple times a day, it could be your microbiome sending a flare.
Constipation might be linked to low good bacteria, dehydration or lack of fibre. Diarrhoea could point to inflammation, poor absorption, or sensitivity to certain foods. Either way, inconsistency is often a sign your gut’s struggling.
💡 Try this:
Drink more water, get moving (even a walk helps), and consider a probiotic blend that supports digestion and encourages regularity – like Fromel’s daily capsules.
4. You Feel Tired (Even When You Sleep Well)
Your gut plays a big role in nutrient absorption – especially vitamins and minerals that fuel energy production, like B12, magnesium and iron. If your digestion isn’t working optimally, you could be undernourished even with a good diet.
Chronic inflammation in the gut can also place stress on the immune system and sap your energy. If you’re feeling wiped out and foggy despite rest, your gut may need some TLC.
💡 Try this:
Focus on gut-soothing meals (soups, stews, fibre-rich wholefoods), reduce ultra-processed foods, and take a probiotic to help restore microbial balance.
5. You Get Sick Easily or Have Ongoing Skin Issues
Over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. If your microbiome is off balance, your defences may be too. You might notice frequent colds, slow recovery, or skin issues like eczema, acne or flare-ups.
A compromised gut can allow toxins and unwanted bacteria into the bloodstream – sometimes called “leaky gut” – which can contribute to systemic inflammation and immune confusion.
💡 Try this:
Boost your gut with anti-inflammatory foods, reduce sugar and alcohol, and use a daily probiotic that supports both digestive and immune health.
