Dysbiosis at DRHC Dubai Gastroenterology Clinic

What is Dysbiosis?

Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the gut microbiota, the complex community of microorganisms that play a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. When harmful bacteria outnumber beneficial ones, it can lead to various digestive and systemic health issues.

Causes of Dysbiosis

Dysbiosis can result from multiple factors, including:

• Poor Diet: High intake of processed foods, sugar, and artificial additives.
• Antibiotics & Medications: Overuse of antibiotics, NSAIDs, or proton pump inhibitors can disrupt gut flora.
• Chronic Stress: Long-term stress negatively affects gut bacteria.
• Infections & Illnesses: Bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections can trigger dysbiosis.
• Environmental Factors: Exposure to toxins, pollutants, and pesticides.
• Lack of Fiber: Insufficient intake of fiber-rich foods needed to support gut-friendly bacteria.

Symptoms of Dysbiosis

Dysbiosis can manifest in various ways, including:

• Digestive Issues: Bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and acid reflux.
• Nutrient Deficiencies: Malabsorption of essential vitamins and minerals.
• Weakened Immunity: Increased susceptibility to infections and allergies.
• Mental Health Concerns: Anxiety, depression, and brain fog due to the gut-brain connection.
• Skin Problems: Eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
• Unexplained Fatigue: Poor gut health can lead to chronic tiredness.

Diagnosis of Dysbiosis

To diagnose dysbiosis, healthcare providers may use:

• Comprehensive Stool Analysis: Identifies bacterial imbalances and infections.
• Breath Tests: Detects excessive gas production linked to bacterial overgrowth.
• Blood Tests: Assesses inflammation markers and vitamin deficiencies.

2. Probiotics & Prebiotics
