In the large intestine, some fermentation is needed to produce butyrate and
short chain fatty acids to nourish the cells of the intestinal wall.
In the small intestine, however, growth of yeast, fungi and other fermenting
bacteria can result in damage to the gut lining allowing absorption of toxic
by-products and impairing absorption of essential nutrients.
Intestinal symptoms can be diarrhoea, burning, bloating, cramping and constipation.
Generalised symptoms can include headache, insomnia, immune dysfunction, chronic
fatigue, joint pain and nutritional deficiencies.
