280: Low Stomach Acid + Chronic Skin Ras...

Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS, Clinical Nutritionist
About this episode

If you’ve heard that skin rashes are caused by underlying gut problems, this can definitely be a factor – especially looking at gut function + your gut microbiome.

That said, gut issues are just one factor in a case, so skin problems aren’t entirely gut problems!

While I’ve discussed other gut problems that are associated with chronic skin issues, I haven’t yet dove into the link between low stomach acid + chronic skin problems.

So let’s do that today so you can see why this often misunderstood issue (that’s pretty easy to figure out) is a great starting point to work on your case!

In this episode:

  • Overview of gut function + why any problems along the way create larger issues downstream
  • Reasons why stomach acid could be low
  • Symptoms of low stomach acid
  • How to test for low stomach acid (at-home)
  • Tips to naturally increase stomach acid

Quotes:

When stomach acid is chronically low, you can potentially end up with nutrient deficiencies + unwanted organisms in your GI tract that were swallowed.

There are no backup systems in your gut so if one step fails, it triggers problems from that point onward in the digestive + absorption process.

Ready to figure out your skin’s root causes so you can finally fix your skin + break free from meds to manage your skin?
