The basics: Dysbiosis as a simple term just means the balance of benign gut germs in your digestive system (beyond the stomach) is out of wack. It has nothing to do with reflux or belching which are a mechanical process. It can lead to loose stools, excess gas production & co-exist with IBS. The most common instances come with overuse of oral antibiotics. Probiotics usually help re-balance the system.
