Do you suffer from eczema? Although it affects the skin, it is almost never just affecting the skin. There is systemic inflammation. The system that is inflamed in all of my eczema patients is the gut. I often run a microbiome test and commonly find leaky gut, overgrowth of unwanted bacteria, and too little beneficial bacteria (probiotics).

The good news is that we can change our microbiome. Diet can have a huge impact. For example, alcohol can exacerbate leaky gut while fiber feeds beneficial bacteria. Supplements can also significantly change the microbiome.
