Atopic eczema

I was diagnosed with IBS C and then SIBO but I do not have slow transit of food from my stomach (imaging using isotope). I try to keep with low FODMAP diet and recently seem to be managing a little better - haven’t used docusate laxative for maybe 6 weeks. Frequently I will have a day of very little food - and drink - because I just can’t manage any, but I’m usually feeling a bit better the next day. Coincidental with this (sort of ) improvement, I have suddenly developed atopic eczema. My GP said it had nothing to do with my gut problem but of course I beg to differ. Anyone else suddenly coming out in red itchy lumps? They aren’t bites and can be anywhere on my body and subside within a few days.

I can’t help wondering what my next delight will be!!

I used to get nasty angry spots around my fourhead and neck hair line. So when I was diagnosed with coeliac disease I went straight on to a gluten free diet. The spots disappeared within the week never to return after years. So they can't tell me its nothing to do with my gut.
