Yes. Any disease involving the digestive system causes fatigue and exhaustion.
Here are some questions you can ask yourself to determine if your gut is contributing to disease.
- Do you have a chronic fatigue that doesn't go away with any intervention you have tried?
- Do you carry an extra 5 to 50 pounds regardless of how you eat or how much you exercise?
- Do you have trouble concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions??
- Are you frequently cold for no reason?
- Are you frequently stressed out, worn out or depressed for no apparent reason?
- Do you have a chronically coated tongue?
- Does your pulse increase 20-25 beats within 15 minutes of eating?
- Do you feel worse after you eat?
- Do you usually have less two bowel movements daily? (Hippocrates told the Athenians that is was essential that they pass large bulky motions after every meal!)
- Do your stools regularly smell 'bad'?
- Do you have chronic heart burn, burping, bloating, gas and pain immediately or within hours of eating?
- Do you just not feel well no matter how vigilant you are with eating well, taking supplements, working out, trying to have a positive attitude?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you likely have a gut issue that needs to be addressed to protect your
health. If you answered yes to 3 or more of these, it's possible that your gut problem is already adversely affecting the rest of your body and you need to take action right away.
