10 Symptoms Of Leaky Gut
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Skin Rashes, Acne, Eczema, or Rosacea
Your skin is the largest organ in your body. With leaky gut, the body becomes so focused on basic survival that other parts of the body, like the skin, become somewhat neglected of basic nutrition and energy. These deprived organs therefore begin to show symptoms.
A leaky gut may be the root cause of recurring skin conditions such as rashes, acne, and eczema. Studies suggest that an increased intestinal permeability is a significant issue for acne patients. While the gut is inflamed, skin integrity and protective function decreases as a result of a decrease in natural antimicrobial peptides produced by the skin.
