Question: Is Caffeine A Trigger For Eczema Flare-Ups?

Answer: This question cannot be answered with a simple yes or no because it depends on the person and the source of the caffeine. Caffeine is a plant toxin that plants make to protect themselves from predators. Of course, caffeine is not going to kill a human like it can kill an insect, but if your gut is damaged, these toxins can trigger inflammation and eczema.

Also, caffeine can cause the release of cortisol, disrupt sleep, and cause dehydration. All of these things can make your body more inflamed, which flares up your eczema.

If you do choose to take caffeine, you should drink green tea instead of coffee. Green tea has many benefits for skin health and eczema; it is also very anti-inflammatory. Coffee, on the other hand, contains mold, and most people with eczema have mold allergies, which worsen eczema.

How To Heal?

To fix this and go back to drinking coffee without any eczema problems, you need to heal your gut first. This can be complicated, so I made The Ultimate Eczema Protocol so you can learn how I healed my gut and eczema and how others are doing the same through this protocol.
