It turns out that there is a very strong connection between the health of your gut and the vitality of your skin! Studies have shown co-occurrence of skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis with increased gut permeability conditions such as celiacs, IBS, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Since the skin's main function is to exist as a physical, chemical, and anti-microbial barrier, stress to the immune system via the gut is likely to deplete the reserves of skin defense!
