Gut microbes and its role

There are trillions of microorganisms or bacteria living in the human body. Although the majority of them are beneficial, when unbalanced, they could be dangerous. Gut microbiota is a broad and diverse population of microbes which has a significant impact on human health. Humans’ ability to absorb nutrients depends on the condition of their gut bacteria. Beneficial bacteria residing in our gut are contributing to digestion and overall gut health. In fact, complex compounds in meats and vegetables can be broken down by the body with the assistance of gut microbes. Our body is unable to break down plant cellulose without the help of gut microorganisms. The metabolic processes of gut microorganisms may potentially affect food cravings and satiety.

linked between gut health and immune system

The capacity of the body to fight against pathogenic infections is referred to as immunity. According to certain studies, the body may encounter microbes before birth. This first encounter of microbes can give rise to acquired immunity which is responsible for immunological memory. After coming into contact with same germs, our immune system picks up the better way to fight with them. This enables a faster and more efficient reaction against pathogens. 70-80% of immune cells are located in the gut. Beneficial gut microbes produce bacteriocins which are antimicrobial compounds capable of eradicating pathogenic bacteria. Additionally, they nourish the lining of the stomach and regulate immunological responses. The growth of the microbiota can be affected by interruptions in these early encounters.

A gene mutation disrupts neuron transmission in the brain, which has been identified as a cause of autism, as well as causing gut dysfunction. Can modifying the bacteria in the stomach which interacts with the brain (via the gut-brain axis), enhance mood and behaviour? “YES”! People with autism frequently have gut issues. Research supports a gut-brain nerve system relationship in autism- treating the gut might help with behavioural abnormalities linked with autism.

Introducing prebiotics and probiotics rich foods to the child with autism can help with both digestive and behavioural issues. Gut bacteria produce bioactive substances or metabolites that increase the activity of GABA receptors that help to regulate brain function, sensory processing, social development (Speech delay and interaction) and also repetitive behaviour.

How PREBIOTIC FIBRE HELPS?

According to study, changes in the gut microbiota might occur within 2-3 weeks after changing food pattern and adding prebiotic fibres. Prebiotic dietary fibre also helps to increase the amount of healthy bacteria, which in turn helps to alleviate concerns about the same. People in some studies said it improved their quality of life.

WHAT CAUSES FREQUENT STOOLS?

The reaction of frequent potty is called the Gastrocolic Reflex. This is the normal reaction in the body whose intensity may vary. This reflex is generated when food hits your stomach. Once this happens it releases a hormone which signals your body to move food through the colon and then out of the body. This response affects some people more frequently and intensely than others.

Gut is made up of good bacteria and the bad bacteria generates as a result of our lifestyle, medication and food habits. When there is imbalance in this gut bacteria (gut dysbiosis) i.e., bad bacteria overpower good bacteria, then these concerns of frequent stools along with other digestive and overall develops.

HOW FIXING GUT WILL REDUCE THIS?

A lot of studies and research has stated that an unhealthy gut or certain digestive disorder may speed up the movement of food through the colon. This can be minimized with the use of prebiotic-rich foods, which have been shown to impact the makeup of beneficial gut bacteria (Probiotics).

Probiotics are responsible for keeping the bad bacteria in check. In addition, it helps in slowing down the bowel movements and reducing the gas production by balancing gut flora.

  • 70-80% of immune cells are located in the gut (large intestine). If the gut health is not good it can impact the immunity of the person to a great extent.

Foods to avoid

Refined sugar: Sugar causes inflammation in the body which results in weaker immunity. Sugar damages the protein in our body, resulting in ageing of organs, which further compromises immunity, growth and functioning. Greatest source of sugar in the average kid’s diet are sugary snacks and beverages like cookies, cakes, candies, fruit juice, soda, and sports drinks. Everything that the child picks up to eat today has strains of added sugar in some form or the other.

Preservatives: Most of the packaged food companies are adding artificial preservatives to delay spoilage and contamination in foods.  artificial preservatives such as nitrates, benzoates, sulfites, sorbates, parabens, formaldehyde, BHT, BHA and several others can cause serious health hazards such as hypersensitivity, allergy, asthma, hyperactivity, neurological damage.

Refined oil: The high temperature involved in the refining process removes all the natural and beneficial substances from the oil, which is not good for gut health as well as respiratory health and ultimately affects your immunity.
