    9 Surprising Skin Issues That May Be Caused by Celiac Disease Ep. 213

    Could your skin be reacting to something deeper? If you’ve been dealing with stubborn skin issues and nothing seems to work long-term, it might be time to look beyond the surface. In this episode, I’m diving into 9 skin conditions that are commonly linked to celiac disease—and how going gluten free can sometimes be the missing piece of the puzzle. From the intense itching of dermatitis herpetiformis to skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis, we’ll chat about how these issues can be signs that your body is reacting to more than just a cream can fix. I even share a personal story about my brother, whose psoriasis only cleared up once he removed gluten from his diet after a celiac diagnosis. We’ll also cover some lesser-known links like alopecia, dry skin, mouth ulcers, and even acne because the skin-gut connection is real. If you’re newly diagnosed or just wondering whether gluten could be affecting your skin, this episode will give you some clarity, a few “ah-ha” moments, and hopefully a bit of relief too. 🔗 Join the Collective waitlist now: belindawhelan.com/collective Find out how Ultimate Celiac System can support your Celiac journey here  https://belindawhelantraining.com/ultimate-celiac-system Complete an elimination diet here https://belindawhelan.teachable.com/p/eliminate Wish you could get gluten free meals on the table fast that the whole family will love?
