Food intolerance is linked to poor gut health and inflammation. Inability to properly digest certain foods can cause bloating, gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. Gut inflammation exacerbates these symptoms by disrupting digestion. Common intolerances include lactose, gluten, and certain carbohydrates. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that over 70% of individuals with food intolerances have an imbalanced gut microbiome. Another study in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that probiotics reduced symptoms by 30%, phasizing the importance of a balanced diet and avoiding trigger foods.
