Tests to consider for eczema:
- Micronutrients: Essential fatty acids, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin E, and B vitamin abnormalities are common in skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis/eczema, and adequate antioxidants are needed to decrease inflammation and oxidative stress associated with eczema https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30912673/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4470215/ and https://theana.org/index.php/node/657
- Wheat Zoomer: Celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wheat sensitivity, allergy, and intestinal hyperpermeability are commonly associated with cutaneous manifestations https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10229844/pdf/fmed-10-1155288.pdf
- Food Zoomers and Food Sensitivity: Up to 53% of children with eczema have food allergies https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07853890.2021.2004322
- Gut Zoomer: Gut microbiome health, GI infections, and GI inflammation play an important role in the gut-skin axis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7916842/pdf/microorganisms-09-00353.pdf
- Candida + IBS Profile: Candida can be both a root cause and complication/co-infection of eczema https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1439-0507.2008.01599.x and https://europepmc.org/article/med/23994853
- Total Tox Burden: Toxicity be a root cause of skin manifestations or a contributor, and mold and mycotoxin illness most typically presents with dermatological manifestations
