Background

Possible connections

Skin problems can be related to food intolerances as well as a deficiency in fatty acids or zinc. Gut health is also increasingly linked to skin condition. Laboratory tests provide clues about relevant values.

A combination of a gut analysis and a food sensitivity test can provide interesting clues for skin problems. Several causes or symptoms can be considered together, so the investigation doesn't stop at a single trigger.

The connections described here are for general orientation. Lab values can provide clues but do not replace a medical diagnosis. If symptoms persist, we recommend consulting a medical professional.
