Eczema / Leaky gut?
I was wondering if you guys had any idea what the real cause of eczema could be. Before you ask, yes I've tried eating paleo and cutting out dairy, but to no avail. High dose fish oil (about 10g) doesn't improve eczema at all for me. I basically had it since I was born so it can't be related to a food I've been eating recently.
I found many websites that claimed that leaky gut was responsible for eczema. However, they always want you to buy some book to get the cure or order some supplements online so it's probably a scam... Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Re: Eczema / Leaky gut?
Increased gut permeability is due to inflammation...
How long did you do Paleo? In most cases, Paleo should eliminate most gut inflammation unless you're still eating some things that are aggravating the system Could also be problems due to lack of sleep or (over)training too. Nutritional deficiencies as well possibly |

Do you think I should try and take more fish oil like, say, 15-20g a day? |

Re: Eczema / Leaky gut?
I had the same issues for years. Doctors didn't know what to do, i tried everything. Turns out I had to take gluten, eggs, dairy, processed foods out of my diet and it wasn't overnight in any way. I would say my eczema, gut problems, fatigue, headaches and more went away within 5-6 months but I had to be strict. When I would eat a cheat meal it would hit me harder and started to be a pain and not worth it at all. The biggest change was taking out eggs, cow milk products and gluten. gluten for me is the worst! turns out goats milk doesn't not contain the protein most people have issues with. http://askdrsears.com/html/3/t032400.asp
to date i am eczema free, fart free, stomach bloat free, acne free, headache free, joint pain free... good luck and i hope you get better ![]() check out my blog which has some stories about my diet www.fitxfiles.blogspot.com |

Re: Eczema / Leaky gut?
I would go strict like Amanda says... try to get quality (see grass fed) meats too.
Fish oil might not be a bad idea either... but that's just throwing lots of stuff at the wall to see if it sticks. |

When I get overweight I can suffer from psoriasis. Get my bodyfat down to 10% or so and it clears. Probably worth noting that in order to be that low in BF I do have to eat pretty clean, so what exactly is causing it I couldn't say. I can eat clean when overweight tho and it won't clear. ![]() As above tho, you would need to be strict for a longish period of time in order to let your body recover and fix from the inside out.. |

Re: Eczema / Leaky gut?
Have you tried probiotics? Could possibly be due to candida overgrowth in digestive system.

Re: Eczema / Leaky gut?
Fruit cleanse detox wont help much if at all honestly... but go for it if you think it will
Probiotics is also a good idea. good call post above me. |
