The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in eczema flares. Research has shown that maintaining proper balance of the millions of microbes and bacteria in your gut can help reduce or even put eczema symptoms into remission. When this balance is disrupted, it may trigger or worsen flare-ups. Food sensitivities can be a key indicator of gut health issues affecting eczema. Some MyEczemaTeam members have found that certain foods trigger burning and itching symptoms that can last up to a week. Working with healthcare providers to identify food triggers through blood testing and elimination diets can help identify specific sensitivities that may be contributing to flares. The skin microbiome is also connected to gut health. An imbalance can lead to overgrowth of certain bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, which has been directly linked to triggering and worsening eczema flares. Managing both gut and skin microbiome health may help reduce the frequency and severity of flares.
