A weak immune system has large implications for the regulation and protection of your gut and body. The gut has more immune cells than any other organ and plays a pivotal role in health and disease. Maintaining a balanced microbiome that supports your health is a challenge, especially since immunodeficient persons are more at risk when infection arises.
Our gut microbiome consists of a carefully balanced system full of beneficial and, at times, harmful microbes. An unbalanced gut microbiome at best means stomach upsets. At worst, it can lead to life-threatening illnesses.
An unbalanced microbiome can manifest when unfamiliar harmful microbes are introduced or when the use of medication, like antibiotics, disrupts the microbiome. A compromised immune system needs help to maintain a balanced microbiome, and to handle an infection should it arise. Supporting a healthy microbiome is therefore especially important.
