One condition that has gained attention in recent years is commonly referred to as <strong>gut rot<\/strong>. While it is not a formal medical diagnosis, the term describes a serious imbalance in the gut microbiome\u2014the diverse community of <strong>bacteria, yeast, and other microbes that inhabit the intestines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">When the gut ecosystem becomes dominated by harmful bacteria, digestion, immunity, and nutrient absorption can all be compromised. <strong>This imbalance can also affect mood, energy levels, and even skin health.<\/strong> Understanding gut rot is essential for anyone looking to maintain long-term health and prevent chronic
