Eczema & Gut Health: How We’re Healing from the Inside Out
Seeing my daughter’s eczema calm down after just 15 days on her gut healing protocol has been one of the most encouraging experiences of my health coaching career, and as a mom!
For years, we tried creams, lotions, and topical solutions. While they gave temporary relief, they never addressed what was really happening inside her body. When I started learning more about the gut–skin connection, everything clicked: eczema can often be a sign of gut imbalance, including candida overgrowth, leaky gut, and inflammation.
Why the Gut Matters for Skin Health
Your gut microbiome is home to trillions of microbes that influence digestion, immunity, mood, and skin. When candida or “bad” bacteria get out of balance, it can trigger:
Eczema & itchy skin
Food sensitivities
Bloating, gas, or constipation
Brain fog, fatigue, or anxiety
This is why focusing on her gut health helped improve her eczema and anxiety.
Gut Healing Approach
Here are some of the things that we’ve been doing to address the root cause of her eczema and anxiety:
Diet Reset – removing sugar, gluten, and dairy to reduce inflammation and starve candida.
Antifungal Rotation – using natural supports like Pau D’Arco Tea, Olive Leaf Extract, Biocidin, and Oil of Oregano to address yeast overgrowth.
Gut Repair & Support – using Saccharomyces Boulardii and GI support to soothe and rebuild the gut lining.
Detox Support – Bentonite Clay, Castor Oil Packs, oil pulling, tongue scraping, and Epsom salt baths to help her body clear toxins naturally.
This is what excites me most as a Gut Thrive Practitioner, seeing real transformation when we support the body in the right way.
