The Naturopathic Guide to Eczema — Root Causes, Testing & the Gut-Skin Protocol (Children & Adults)
You've creamed, steroided, soaked and wrapped. You've cut out dairy, then gluten, then half your diet - and your eczema still flares. This guide explains why eczema is never just a skin problem, but a leaky skin barrier plus an immune system stuck in its allergic setting - driven from your gut, starting somewhere almost no one looks: your stomach acid. No "moisturise more and avoid triggers." The real biology, the tests, and the order the work has to happen in.
What's Inside
- The reframe: eczema as a leaky barrier plus a TH2-stuck immune system - and why the dial is in your gut, starting at your stomach acid.
- The five root-cause drivers - digestion/low stomach acid, dysbiosis, the TH2 immune tilt, staph, and histamine overload - with a self-assessment to find yours.
- Why eczema "travels" into hay fever, asthma and food reactions - and how treating the terrain calms all of them.
- Why dairy and gluten elimination stalls - and what finally lets the foods come back.
- The exact GP bloods to request (and how to read them), plus the functional gut testing that pinpoints your drivers, with two tear-out test sheets.
- A five-phase protocol in the order that works, plus a self-assessment, tracker and red-flag guidance.
