10 Signs You’re Eating Too Much Sugar — And What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You

8. Digestive Issues

Bloating, gas, and irregular bowel movements can happen when sugar feeds harmful gut bacteria, weakening digestion.

9. Frequent Infections or Slow Healing

Excess sugar suppresses your immune system. If you catch colds often or your cuts take longer to heal, sugar may be playing a role.

10. Higher Thirst and Dry Mouth

Sugar pulls water from your tissues. Feeling thirsty all the time — especially after eating sweets — can be a sign your body is struggling to balance high sugar levels.
