I cannot stress the importance of having a healthy gut more; as I said earlier, research is showing us just how much these various gut problems can affect your health. In fact, studies have linked poor gut health to a multitude of conditions1, including: Even certain over-the-counter medications such as NSAIDs like ibuprofen can affect your gut health.
