7 Gut Issues We’ve Dug Deep Into
Are you constantly searching for ways to improve your nagging stomach issues?
Your bloating, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea probably has you searching for a bathroom more than you’d like.
And to add on to those unbearable and downright embarrassing digestive problems – your doctor has probably diagnosed you with some sort of autoimmune disease like celiac, Crohn’s or colitis.
Or better yet – they’ve probably given you a prescription for antidepressants, labeled you with a trash can diagnosis we like to call irritable bowel syndrome, and sent you on your way.
How frustrated you must feel after being given the runaround and you’re still left with your digestive problems lurking.
This scenario happens to millions of Americans every year.
Health issues such as irritable bowel syndrome, celiac, Crohn’s, and other autoimmune diseases hinder your quality of life.
This is why we’ve done countless hours and multiple studies to get to the root cause of your digestive problems and autoimmune diseases.
The answer for all these unwanted gut issues is getting your gut microbiome back to the way it should be, because your health depends on the health of the microscopic bacteria in your gut.
Not only do these guys cause digestive problems, but your gut health can be a reflection of autoimmune diseases. Countless research shows the association between gut health and autoimmune disease – so it’s time to take the next step in taking care of your gut microbiota.
Gut Health and Gastrointestinal Diseases
A diverse and complex community of microorganisms living in your gut work wonders for your entire body – especially your intestines.
These microscopic gut microbiota contain 100-fold more genes than your human genome.
So when you hear people talking about your gut health they’re specifically referring to the health of these gut bacteria – and most 100 trillion of these reside in your large intestine.
Studies show that if your gut bacteria have less diversity within their community or has a disruption of gut bacteria (dysbiosis) it can wreak havoc on your health.
These studies show your gut health has been linked to multiple gastrointestinal diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory diseases such as celiac and Crohn’s.
Gut Microbiota and Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Your gut bacteria effectively communicate with your intestine and brain.
And an unhealthy gut could crumble this line of communication.
Studies show irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is directly related to the bacteria in your gut. Your IBS symptoms such as abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and constipation are caused by the type of bacteria residing in your gut.
IBS symptoms have also shown to improve when you correct gut dysbiosis and restore healthy gut bacteria.
Depending on the gut microbiota you harbor in your intestines will depend on your irritable bowel syndrome symptoms – diarrhea or constipation.
Methanogens and hydrogen-producing bacteria are the two bacteria most associated with your IBS symptoms. And kicking out these unwanted bacteria can help your IBS symptoms subside.
Autoimmune Diseases and Your Gut Health
Autoimmune diseases can be a real pain in your gut, especially if you’re dealing with inflammatory bowel diseases such as celiac, Crohn’s, or colitis.
The chronic inflammation in these inflammatory bowel diseases has been strongly associated with gut dysbiosis.
Other autoimmune diseases which might be triggered by your gut microbiota include:
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Type 1 diabetes
- Systemic lupus
- Autoimmune liver disease
This attack on your immune system from your gut bacteria happens when the tight junctions in your gut fail to act as a gut barrier anymore due to gut dysbiosis.
A molecule called zonulin loosens these tight junctions in your gut allowing for gut bacteria, toxins, and other antigens to slip through the seams into your bloodstream.
This causes a production of auto-antibodies and inflammation in your system leading to certain autoimmune diseases.
The Bacteria Which Could Be Causing It All – SIBO
So what is causing all this gut dysbiosis?
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is one of the main perpetrators in gut dysbiosis. And it’s slowly gaining the attention it deserves because it has been the underlying cause in so many gastrointestinal issues.
SIBO is a condition where bacteria, which are actually good bacteria, happen to get stuck in your small intestine and start to grow.
Originally, hydrogen and methane-producing bacteria inhabit your large intestine.
But in this case, due to some event which shocked your intestines, they’ve migrated to your small intestine.
We don’t mean shocked as in an electrical shock – but some event which affected the homeostasis of your gut.
The following are some of the causes of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth:
- Infection
- Change in motility
- Stressful situations
- Antibiotics and other gut harming drugs
- Low stomach acid
- Prior bowel surgery
The bacteria growing in your small intestine releases hydrogen gas and sometimes methane or hydrogen sulfide gas. The archaebacteria releasing methane gas slows the motility of your gut leading to IBS symptoms of constipation.
And the hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria lead to your IBS symptoms of diarrhea.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, as well as gluten, are two of the most powerful triggers to release zonulin in your gut – leading to leaky gut syndrome and other autoimmune diseases.

My 8-year-old son has Celiac. Is there any way he could take it?
Hi Jamir!
Thank you for your interest in Atrantil! Atrantil is all natural and has no known side effects. In fact, the high antioxidant count and beneficial polyphenols are great even for overall, daily health.
However, in our clinical trials we did not test on children under 18 years of age.
Therefore, unfortunately we cannot make any claims as to that due to FDA restrictions. We are sorry we cannot be of more assistance on this. Please let us know if there are any other ways in which we can assist you.
Thank you and best wishes,
