Ways that environmental chemicals can harm your gut:
- Trigger an inflammatory response, leading to damage to the gut lining.3https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7151736/
- Disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria (gut dysbiosis).4https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7151736/
- Interfere with nutrient absorption.
- Affect gut motility, leading to loose stools or constipation.
- Increase the risk of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, colorectal cancer, and neurological disorders.5https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7151736/
