Hello! Thanks for the AMA, I have some questions for you guys,

. Can a healthy gut help in having clear skin? I've seen people who eat pretty unhealthy food but have clear skin while I who only ocassionaly eats unhealthy have acne (both hormonal and bacterial)

. How true is "dont drink milk after eating fish" and "no soft drinks after eating fruits". I'vr heard both from various people. Also are there more such combinations of food best not eaten together?

. Why would a clindamycin gel for your face cause diarrhoea?

. Is it ok to eat eggs every day?

. You know how sometimes a random part of your stomach or chest starts hurting? I guess most of those are harmless but what part of your stomach should you be concerned about if it randomly starts hurting.

Sorry if the questions are too trivial. Have a great day!

Thanks for the questions! I can give you some more information on your first question regarding the gut microbiome and acne.

The gut microbiome is an important regulator of the body’s immune system. In people with an altered, or dysbiotic, gut microbiome the permeability of the intestinal wall is increased. The increased permeability leads to the release of inflammatory compounds signalling and increase in inflammation throughout the body. This can lead to an increased response to bacteria on the skin and the development of acne. In addition, there can be alterations in the skin microbiome due to transit of bacteria from the gut to the skin, with the altered skin microbiome leading to the development of acne.
