Re: connected illnesses with Seb derm ............?
I also have IBS (constipation) and itching scalp, dry skin on face, a bit of acne, rosacea (visible vessels and flushes in the face). I was diagnosed with candida overgrowth and leaky gut some years ago.
I have started a diet high in good fats, and I'm eating meat most of the days. I strictly avoid all sugars and carbs, except vegetables. It helps a lot.
I also drink kefir, and try to improve my digestion with bitters, enzymes.
I also take Zinc+L-Carnosine as it heals the gut.
I'm definitely convinced that seb derm, rosacea and these kind of "skin" (maybe rosacea is more vascular?) problems are linked to a poor absorption/digestion, and so maybe bad immune response.
Raising stomach acid and building the gut flora is the way to recover, in my opinion.
By the way, I also had GERD during 10 years.
It's only when I quit the omeprazole treatment (10 years) that the GERD disappeard on its own. Now I'm taking things to RAISE the acid, and I don't have GERD anymore.
You can search for Hveragherti's posts on GERD in "The Truth in Medicine" forum. He explains what is happening with GERD.
