Skin Barrier Link To Gut Food Sensitivity

Haven’t I always said it: if one barrier is down, others will be and you have to consider all body barriers in cases of food sensitivity? Here we have a research study showing a link between allergens going through a compromised skin barrier going on to cause immune cell reactions in the gut which trigger food allergy reactions. You can read the abstract here:

Exposure to food allergens through inflamed skin promotes intestinal food allergy through the thymic stromal lymphopoietin-basophil axis.

Told ya so. Just sayin’
