267: Can Certain Foods Make Eczema Worse?


Listen Later

If you’ve thought that there is an official eczema trigger foods list you should follow…

Think again.

These lists are often made up of arbitrary foods that may or may not be a problem for you.

Often these lists scare people into avoiding foods unnecessarily which can have unintended consequences for your physical and mental health (as well as your relationship with food).

Instead of seeking out a list of foods to avoid when you have eczema, it’s wiser to question why you are reacting to certain foods in your diet.

If there’s a legitimate IgE food allergy – that’s one thing (and it’s best to follow your doctor’s recommendation on that front).

But assuming you now have a food sensitivity or food intolerance may mean you miss crucial clues to hidden problems lurking below the surface.

Here’s my take based on my work as a clinical nutritionist on why certain foods can make your eczema worse!

In this episode:
  • Eczema trigger foods list: Does one exist?
  • Thoughts on different naturally occurring food chemicals + eczema flares
  • Breakdown on what gut function is + how it can contribute to eczema
  • Why you might be reacting to certain foods (that has nothing to do with the food itself)
  • Debunking the notion that eczema is all about food sensitivities
Quotes:

There is no official list of eczema trigger foods no matter what you research online.

When there are gut function issues, the way food will interact with your gut will likely be problematic.
