10 Causes And Triggers of Eczema

Inflammatory Foods

Several foods can trigger or worsen the symptoms of eczema. In general, you would have a flare-up after consuming inflammatory ingredients or products. These include dairy, red meats, gluten, refined carbs, and sugar. Similarly, if you are allergic to some foods, an inflammatory response can happen and worsen your symptoms. To reduce the risk, you should keep track of your diet and rule out any foods or products that can trigger eczema. Removing these components from daily meals can be effective in preventing flare-ups.[2]
