Do you suffer from a greasy or flaky scalp but cannot determine whether it might be seborrheic dermatitis vs. psoriasis
📍What is Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD)
SD is almost like a hybrid dandruff. All dandruff is a result of a fungus that builds up on the scalp. Overtime, this fungus can grow and spread into what is known as seborrhoea. This seborrhoea can also grow on other oil-producing glands like the face or chest.
Unlike more normal forms of dandruff, seborrhoea can cause extreme itching, discomfort, redness and inflammation. It is usually characterized by an oily type of flake that falls off the scalp and spreads into hair.
📍What is Psoriasis
On the other hand, psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes itching, scaling and inflammation. White blood cells in the immune system trigger skin cells to surface and shed at 10 times their normal rate.
Unlike SD, psoriasis is often characterized by lifted red or flaky silver patches.
Other psoriasis symptoms include:
Red rashes
Joint pain and swelling
Nail abnormalities
White lesions
🌱SD vs. Psoriasis Scalp
As previously mentioned, psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that can be triggered by certain health issues (like rashes from rheumatoid arthritis), medications or even stress. Normally this condition tends to develop between 15 and 35 years old. Sebborheic dermatitis can develop much earlier.
Unfortunately, there is no known cause for SD. Although many believe the condition might be linked to an abnormality of oil glands or hair follicles, others believe it can be caused by hormones, yeast fungus, heavy drinking, stress and much more.
🤗Healing from Within
Because psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis both cause inflammation, perhaps it might be time to control it through nutrition.
Similarly to eczema, certain food allergens can trigger psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. An elimination diet can provide much needed answers to what might be triggering your flare-ups.
This process works by removing certain foods from your diet (such as soy, gluten, dairy, nuts and more) and reintroducing them over a period of time to pinpoint triggers. Many who have suffered from eczema and psoriasis have found improvements with their symptoms after carrying out this process.

What If I Have Both IBS and IBD? 🙍‍♀️
What Is Inflammatory Bowel Disease
IBD is a chronic, systemic, relapsing, immune-mediated inflammation of the intestinal tract. Over 3 million people in the United States have IBD with varying levels of severity.
We don’t know what causes it, but researchers suspect a combination of genetics and environmental factors are at play.
The two main types of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
In ulcerative colitis inflammation is in the large intestine and almost always involves the re**um. Primary symptoms include diarrhea and re**al bleeding.
In Crohn’s disease inflammation can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, but it usually involves the bottom part of the small intestine (Crohn’s ileitis), the large intestine (Crohn’s colitis), or both (Crohn’s ileocolitis). Crohn’s symptoms vary based on location, but the most common symptoms include abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Both Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis can lead to extraintestinal (out of the intestines)l complications, such as inflammation of the joints, skin and eyes.
Most people with IBD rely on medications to achieve and maintain remission. Some require surgery, including bowel resections and/or colectomy. Severe cases of IBD can lead to life-threatening complications, including colon cancer.
🤷‍♀️ How can I prevent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
While there isn’t anything you can do to prevent IBD, certain dietary and lifestyle changes may control the symptoms. You can:
▶️Eat smaller meals every two to four hours.
▶️Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as meditation, movement like tai chi, listening to music or going for a walk.
▶️Get plenty of sleep and stay physically active.
▶️Take postbiotics to maintain gut health.
▶️Keep a food diary to identify foods that trigger IBD flares. You may find you have a food intolerance, such as lactose intolerance. If so, your body has a harder time digesting certain foods, which causes stomach upset.
▶️Reduce foods that irritate the intestines, such as those that are fibrous, spicy, greasy or made with milk. During flares, choose soft, bland foods that are less inflammatory.
▶️Cut back on caffeinated, carbonated and alcoholic beverages. Drink more water to prevent dehydration.
▶️Quit smoking.

‼️ Pay attention to your gut-brain connection – it may contribute to your anxiety and digestion problems
The gut-brain connection is no joke; it can link anxiety to stomach problems and vice versa. Have you ever had a "gut-wrenching" experience? Do certain situations make you "feel nauseous"?
Have you ever felt "butterflies" in your stomach? We use these expressions for a reason. The gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. Anger, anxiety, sadness, elation — all of these feelings (and others) can trigger symptoms in the gut.
➡️ The brain has a direct effect on the stomach and intestines. For example, the very thought of eating can release the stomach's juices before food gets there.
➡️ This connection goes both ways. A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut. Therefore, a person's stomach or intestinal distress can be the cause or the product of anxiety, stress, or depression. That's because the brain and the gastrointestinal (GI) system are intimately connected.
➡️ This is especially true in cases where a person experiences gastrointestinal upset with no obvious physical cause. For such functional GI disorders, it is difficult to try to heal a distressed gut without considering the role of stress and emotion.
🧠 Gut health and anxiety 🧠
✅Known as the gut-brain axis, there is a bidirectional communication between the central and the enteric (intestinal) nervous system that links the emotional and cognitive centers of the brain with peripheral intestinal function.
🔸90% of serotonin is made in the gut:
Known as the happy hormone that regulates our mood, 90% of serotonin is made in the digestive tract, not the brain!
🔸The gut microbiome makes key mood-boosting neurotransmitters:
Our gut bacteria produce neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, acetylcholine and GABA, which all play a critical role in our mood, motivation, and concentration. Imbalances of these important neurotransmitters are linked to anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.
🔸 Animal studies of f***l transplants showed that a healthier microbiome post-transplant resulted in improved mood.
😲 Our digestive tract is the most primitive and earliest part of our physical development. Often referred to as our “first or early brain”, our gut is connected to every system in the body through the nervous system.
😲 Our gastrointestinal system has a hundred million nerve cells, more than the spinal cord or peripheral nervous system. One of the connections in the gut includes direct communication via the vagus nerve to the brain.
Taking care of your gut health can help boost your mental health😃

What is Dysbiosis ❓❓
Dysbiosis is a fancy word that means an imbalance of gut bacteria. This could mean one of three things: the bad bacteria is overcrowding the good gut bacteria, we don’t have enough good bacteria, and/or we don’t have enough diversity of bacteria in our gut . Getting a yeast infection after being on antibiotics is a classic example of localized dysbiosis.
🕵️The symptoms of dysbiosis are wide and ever-growing. Some include:
-Bloating
-Irritable Bowel Syndrome
-Unexplained fatigue
-Diarrhea
-Skin conditions (acne, rosacea, eczema)
-Allergies or chronic food sensitivities
-Frequent colds or sinus infections
-Acid reflux
-Bad breath
-Brain “fog”
-Food cravings
‼️ The Microbiome Diet: Fix Your Gut to Reduce Sugar Cravings.
Let’s talk about the microbiome diet, and how to fix mild dysbiosis with the foods you eat!
➡️ In summary, the best microbiome diet is rich in plant-based fiber, low in sugar, and includes a small to moderate amount of high-quality animal protein.

🕵️THIS P**P CHART TELLS YOU WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR GUT AND HOW TO FIX IT ‼️
➡️ Right now, you may be ignoring one of your body’s informational super-sources: your p**p. 💩
Your p**p can tell you all sorts of things about your digestive health, including if you should adjust your diet, drink more water or see a gastroenterology specialist. Next time you’re in the bathroom, take a look in the toilet and then check the Bulletproof P**p Chart (below).
🔸Paying attention to your bowel movements is especially important if you notice gastrointestinal red flags like hemorrhoids, constipation, pain in your re**um or related symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (aka IBS). Here’s what it all means—and when you want to talk to your doctor:
➡️ IF YOU’RE HAVING FREQUENT LIQUID STOOLS:
Check with your healthcare provider if you experience frequent diarrhea. Generally speaking, here are some tips to help firm up your p**p:
📌Fiber adds bulk to your stools and makes them easier to pass. Eat plenty of fiber-rich veggies to make sure you’re still getting the nutrients you need, but cook them so they’re easier to digest.
📌Try eliminating grains, nuts, legumes, caffeine and alcohol. These foods and drinks can affect your digestive tract and stomach lining and impact the diversity of your gut bacteria.[1] [2]
📌Feed your biome with prebiotic-rich foods like sweet potato, carrots and asparagus. When it’s hard to get enough fiber-rich foods, reach for our POSTBIOTIC for healthier gut !
📌Experiment with fermented foods like kombucha, sauerkraut and (if you tolerate dairy) grass-fed kefir. These fermented foods contain bacteria and yeasts that may be beneficial for your gut and gastrointestinal health—but keep in mind that fermented foods don’t work for everyone.
✅ Once you start implementing positive changes, track your p**p over time. If it begins to look more like a 3 or 4, you’re on the right track, and odds are high that your good gut bacteria are flourishing.

Healing Leaky Gut Naturally 🍽
✨At this point, we have discussed the symptoms, causes, and consequences of leaky gut syndrome. If it is not taken care of, leaky gut will eventually lead to chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, cognitive impairment, and all around poor health.
✨The following are some of the most effective strategies for healing leaky gut once and for all.
📌Intermittent Fasting
➡Intermittent fasting (IF) is a great starting point for reducing stress on the gut. IF is basically going longer periods of time without eating, which naturally confines eating to a smaller window of time.
In milder cases of leaky gut, IF can be helpful in conjunction with an elimination diet that cuts out your unique food sensitivities.
Begin with a 12 hour no-eating window between dinner and breakfast for 2 weeks. When you are comfortable, progress to 14 hours for two weeks. Continue like this until you have reach a daily fasting window of 16-18 hours.
📌Testing for Food Sensitivities
➡ When you come off of a fast, it will still be important to incorporate a nutrition plan that is devoid of inflammatory foods to ensure continued healing. Working with a functional nutrition practitioner can be great for getting set up with the necessary lab work to identify your unique food sensitivities.
📌 Take Postbiotic
➡ POSTbiotic called butyrate demonstrated an ability to help heal a leaky gut and restore the intestinal lining. Other research shows that butyrate treatment resulted in improved GI symptoms in those with many common digestion issues.
🔸 Summary 🔸
Leaky gut is when the protective barrier of the gut becomes compromised and allows undigested food and toxins into the blood. This causes an inflammatory reaction that can have many negative consequences for your health.

✨Major Contributors of Leaky Gut PART 2 ‼️
📌Antibiotic Overuse
➡Having a history of antibiotic use increases your chances of suffering from leaky gut by lowering the population of beneficial microbes in the gut. In fact, antibiotic use is associated with long-term cognitive impairment, potentially due to a dual compromising of the gut and blood-brain barriers (4, 5).
➡Taking past antibiotic use into account when healing leaky gut is important. Running a lab to assess the current microbial makeup of your digestive tract can very beneficial in determining if this is a leaky gut stressor.
📌Infections or Dysbiosis
➡As has been mentioned a few times already, having an overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria, viruses, or parasitic infection all create toxicity and inflammation. This is obviously a major factor to address in healing leaky gut.
➡Not only addressing unwanted microbes, but repopulating the gut with beneficial microbes will be key. The strategies we will discuss later will be the critical first steps to take in order to create a more desirable environment in the gut microbiome.
📌Non-Organic Food
➡Non-organic food, for the most part, is sprayed with different chemicals to protect it from being eaten by bugs. The way a lot of these chemicals work is by destroying the digestive tract of the bugs that try to consume the sprayed crops.
➡One example of the harmful effects of these chemicals is glyphosate. Glyphosate is one of the most heavily sprayed herbicides in the world. Research has shown that exposure to glyphosate contributes to dysbiosis, depletion of vital minerals, and disrupts bile flow. This combination of effects may contribute to a variety of neurological conditions (6).
📌Medication Use – NSAIDs and PPIs
➡ Medications like NSAIDS and PPIs have the capacity to disrupt intestinal barrier function and contribute to leaky gut conditions (7). These medications have been implicated in conditions such as IBD, IBS, chronic infection, and Celiac disease.
➡PPIs in particular are especially destructive to the gut as they lower stomach acid production. This effect opens the doors to harmful infections as well as malnutrition.
📌 Low Stomach Acid Production
➡At this point in the article, you likely understand the importance of proper stomach acid production when it comes to healing leaky gut. Just to reinforce this idea, stomach acid is important for digestion and sterilization of food we consume.
➡If you have low stomach acid, this opens the doors to malnourishment and different types of infections in the gut. This ultimately contributes to leaky gut and the many branching health effects we have covered so far.
If you chronically deal with indigestion and heartburn, this is likely a sign that you have poor stomach acid production.

Major Contributors of Leaky Gut ‼️
✨There are many common factors that provoke gut inflammation and damage. Addressing these factors is critical for healing leaky gut.
✨Essentially, we must remove as many stressors as possible in order to allow healing to occur. The following are major stressors that must be addressed to get well in this regard.
📌Grains
➡Grains are one of the most pervasive leaky gut stressors. The first step in healing leaky gut is removing grains and sugars. When I refer to grains, I generally refer to any kind of food that can become planted and grow into a new organism. This includes nuts and seeds as well. Regularly consuming these foods contribute both to chronic inflammation and autoimmune conditions by breaking down the intestinal barrier (1).
➡The reason these foods are not great for the gut is due to their built in protective mechanisms like phytates and lectins. These compounds help grains to resist digestion so that when animals eat them, they can pass through the digestive tract untouched and become planted once they are expelled from the body.
📌Alcohol
➡Alcohol is toxic for the gut and brain. Eliminating it from your diet is important for healing leaky gut for two reasons. One, it disrupts beneficial bacteria in the gut. This opens the doors for opportunistic bacteria and yeast to overpopulate. This causes inflammation and stresses the gut lining.
📌Food Sensitivities
➡Each person has their own unique food sensitivities. These can potentially be genetic or be developed due to increased intestinal permeability. Foods that might be beneficial for one person, could be potentially harmful and destructive to the gut for someone else.
➡The key is to identify your food sensitivities so that you can eliminate them from your diet while healing leaky gut. This is an approach that is being considered clinically for treatment of ADHD and autism spectrum disorder – two conditions which commonly have a component of leaky gut involved (3).
📌Chronic Stress
➡When the body is under stress, digestion is not prioritized. This results in an under-production of stomach acid and enzymes. Digestive juices actually provide a protective role in sterilizing the food we eat which maintains an optimal balance in the microbiome.
➡Eating while chronically stressed can slow down bowel motility, causing food to remain in the small intestine and colon for longer than necessary. This further promotes dysbiosis bacterial growth and inflammation. This dysbiosis overgrowth of bacteria produces toxins that enter the bloodstream and cause more problems throughout the body.

What is Leaky Gut ❓❓
Leaky gut is when the intestinal barrier loses its ability to properly regulate what does and doesn’t pass through it. This is something that often develops over time as a consequence of many different stressors.
Once this break-down occurs, things like undigested food particles cross into the blood. These particles are typically foreign to the body and this create an immune response. When we continue to eat foods that contain those same particles, we get chronic inflammation that affects the entire body.
📌Symptoms of Leaky Gut
Because of the chronic inflammatory response mentioned above, the symptoms of leaky gut can range widely. First and foremost, those with leaky gut will likely experience digestive issues like gas, bloating, indigestion, poorly formed stools, or constipation.
Additionally, these effects can span throughout the body and even lead to things like brain fog, mood disorders, autoimmune conditions, and fibromyalgia. Because of the wide range of systems affected by a poorly functioning gut, healing leaky gut is extremely important for optimal health.
📌The Importance of Gut Health
We often think about the skin as a protective barrier to keep invaders from entering our blood. Well, the digestive tract plays the very same role for things that we ingest.
The critical difference to note is that the skin contain 3 thick layers of protection that are each several layers of cells deep. The digestive tract on the other hand, only has one layer of cells that act as a barrier.
This means that the digestive tract is much more fragile when it comes to incurring damage. When that one layer of cells become compromised, we lose an important aspect of the immune system. This opens up the doors for a wide range of undesirable health effects.
The GI lining also contains tiny hair-like projections called villi that are largely responsible for breaking down and absorbing the nutrients from food. The villi often become damaged before leaky gut occurs which can result in malnourishment regardless of diet.
Healing leaky gut will therefore have a massive impact on your overall health.
