If you suffer from a skin problem such as Eczema, and have not yet discovered a cause then it is possible that you could be one of the estimated 9 million(1) adults in the UK with a food intolerance.
These food sensitivities can be very difficult to pinpoint – often a trial and error elimination diet alone can take months before trigger foods are identified, as your skin problems could be due to a food you have just eaten, or it could be because of a food you ate earlier in the day, or even one or two days previously.
Smartblood Story - Matt's Gluten Intolerance
Matt is currently studying Maths and Physics at the University of Bristol. Matt has had Eczema all of his life – although steroid creams help during flare-ups, when he stops using the creams, the Eczema returns.
View Matt’s video story to see how a Smartblood food intolerance test helped Matt identify his trigger foods, and how a consultation with a Smartblood Nutritional Therapist helped him switch to less reactive foods, which helped his skin health.
I've had eczema on my hands for most of my life. I struggled to find out what was causing the problems, even steroid creams didn't really help. The Smartblood Food Intolerance Test found I had reactions to milk, gluten & cherries. After cutting them from my diet, my eczema almost completely cleared up within a month. - Matt
